Our verdict

Pavé huggie hoops with a detachable freshwater pearl drop, for someone who wants a pearl look and a plain look from one set at $89. Look elsewhere if you need stated sizes for the hoops, the pearl or the stones, or want a choice of finishes or pearl colors. The main caveat is that the listing names its materials but gives almost no measurements, so confirm the sizes with the store first.

Best for
Someone who wants gold vermeil huggie hoops that can be worn with or without a pearl drop.
Skip if
You need stated hoop and pearl sizes or a choice of pearl colors.

Why 3.4/5: Nothing on the page earns extra credit; held back by almost no specifications on the page and the store's no-returns, no-refunds policy (a damaged or defective item gets an exchange or repair).

Two looks from one set are the point of the Isla Pearl Hoops: the listing describes pavé huggie hoops with cubic zirconia accents, made in 925 sterling silver with an 18K gold vermeil finish, plus a detachable freshwater pearl drop that can be worn on the hoops or left off. The price is $89 for a single variant. No hoop diameter, pearl size or stone size is given on the page.

Options and pricing

Nothing is selectable here: one variant at $89, with no size, metal or pearl color to choose. The only choice is how to wear them, because the listing says the freshwater pearl drop is detachable and the hoops can be worn with it or on their own as pavé huggies. The pearl's color and size are not given, and neither is the number of cubic zirconia stones set into the hoops.

How it compares

The Cascada Hoops are $85, the Sculptura Cuff Hoops share the $89 price and the Flora Studs are $68. By name, Isla is the only one of the four with a pearl, and the sibling entries show nothing but a name and a price, so stones and sizes cannot be compared from them.

Shipping, returns and warranty

Shipping: the Shipping & Returns page says US orders over $100 ship free and that Demi-Fine Collection orders are usually mailed by USPS First Class within 5 to 7 business days of purchase, excluding holidays, unless the product page says otherwise (USPS Priority Mail is available for a faster carrier service but does not shorten processing). International shipping is offered for the Demi-Fine Collection to select countries by USPS International, and the buyer is responsible for import taxes and duties. Returns: the Shipping & Returns page says the store cannot accept returns on these limited, handmade or made-to-order items; if an item arrives damaged or defective, contact the store within 14 days of delivery for an exchange or repair of the same item, which must be in its original packaging with no sign of wear. The FAQ says all fine jewelry sales are final and that returns, refunds and exchanges are not accepted, with a repair offered for faulty items, and the sales terms add that sale items cannot be returned or exchanged. The refund policy page grants a 14-day cooling-off right to orders shipped into the European Union. Warranty: the FAQ describes a lifetime guarantee against manufacturing defects for the store's fine jewelry; it does not say whether this demi-fine piece is covered, so ask the store before relying on it. Discount code: the sales terms say codes must be entered at checkout, only one code can be used per order and promotions exclude gift cards and custom orders unless stated otherwise; some products can also be excluded, so check that the FACESTORE code takes 10% off this item before you pay.

Before you buy

Lola Ade says it is a Black woman-owned fine jewelry brand based in Los Angeles that sells online only, founded by Pamela Adewoyin James, whom its About page calls a GIA-certified diamond professional and practicing attorney. The page says she has handcrafted jewelry since 2010 and launched an engagement ring collection in 2024. A July 2026 SHEEN Magazine interview tells a similar story, but it is a profile, not a product test, and searches on 20 October 2026 found no Trustpilot, BBB or Reddit page for the store. The store's own reviews page shows 40 reviews, 38 of them five-star and 2 four-star; that widget is the store's display and was not verified. Its giving program ("a portion of every fine jewelry purchase" supports clean water access in Africa, and a portion of each engagement ring sale per its community page) names no amount. There is no showroom, so you cannot see a piece in person, and the pages disagree on whether a damaged item gets an exchange or only a repair; ask for the remedy in writing before you order.

What we liked

  • The pearl drop is detachable, so the listing offers two looks: with the drop or as plain pavé huggies
  • Materials are named: 925 sterling silver, an 18K gold vermeil finish, cubic zirconia and a freshwater pearl
  • One price of $89 with no options to decide between
  • The pavé setting and the pearl type (freshwater) are both stated

Worth noting

  • No hoop diameter, pearl size, stone size or weight is given
  • The listing calls the pearl luminous but names no color for it
  • The listing does not say how the drop attaches or how many cubic zirconia stones are set in each hoop
  • Only one variant: no choice of size, finish or pearl color

Questions before you buy

Can the pearl be taken off?

Yes, according to the listing: it calls the freshwater pearl drop detachable and says the hoops can be worn with the drop or alone as pavé huggies.

What are the Isla Pearl Hoops made of?

925 sterling silver with an 18K gold vermeil finish, set with cubic zirconia accents, plus a freshwater pearl drop. The listing gives no weights or sizes.

What claims does the listing make about the finish?

It calls the hoops non-tarnish and makes a skin-comfort claim. The page adds no care notes or supporting detail, so treat both as the store's own statements.

Can I return it if I change my mind?

No. The Shipping & Returns page says the store cannot accept returns on its handmade, limited or made-to-order items, and the FAQ says all fine jewelry sales are final with no returns, refunds or exchanges. If an item arrives damaged or defective, contact the store within 14 days of delivery for an exchange or repair.

How long until a demi-fine piece is mailed?

The Shipping & Returns page says Demi-Fine Collection orders usually go out by USPS First Class within 5 to 7 business days of purchase, excluding holidays; processing for some pieces takes longer and is noted on the product page or the announcement bar. Orders over $100 ship free.

What we couldn’t verify

  • The listing makes a durability claim (it says non-tarnish) and a skin-comfort claim that we could not check.
  • The headline says pearl drops in the plural while the body describes a detachable pearl drop; no pearl size, color or stone count is given.
  • Independent testing of this piece: none found; the only outside coverage located is an interview-style profile of the founder (SHEEN Magazine, July 2026).
  • The store's pages disagree on exchange versus repair for a damaged item.
  • The store's 40-review widget and its clean-water giving claim are its own statements and were not verified.
  • Whether the FACESTORE code applies to this item was not tested; the sales terms exclude custom orders and some products.
