Lola Ade Roho Trellis Split Shank Solitaire Ring Setting Review
Roho is a four-prong solitaire setting with a split shank that forms a trellis, a cathedral top and a 2.17mm band. The setting alone costs $1,495 in 14K gold and $1,895 in platinum, and it suits a buyer who wants an open gallery and will buy the center diamond separately.

Our verdict
Roho fits a buyer who wants a solitaire with a split shank, an open gallery and a raised cathedral top, and who will pick the center diamond separately. Look elsewhere if you want accent diamonds on the band, more than six stone shapes, or a price that includes the stone. The main caveat is the Ring Style option, which adds a second value, Unique, that the listing never explains.
- Best for
- A buyer who wants a split-shank solitaire with an open gallery and a cathedral top, with the diamond bought separately.
- Skip if
- You want accent diamonds on the band, more than six stone shapes, or a price that includes the diamond.
Why 3.7/5: Lifted by a spec sheet with 6 rows and one complimentary resizing in the first 6 months; held back by the store's no-returns, no-refunds policy (a damaged or defective item gets an exchange or repair).
Roho's trellis comes from a split shoulder shank with an open gallery, which sits under a four-prong basket setting that has a cathedral top. The setting alone is listed from $1,495 in 14K rose, white or yellow gold and $1,895 in platinum, and the 48 variants add six stone shapes and a Ring Style option with two values. According to the listing, the name means heart in Kikuyu.
Specifications
| Spec | Page says |
|---|---|
| Name meaning | Heart translates to "Roho" in Kikuyu, predominately spoken in Kenya |
| Ring Style | Solitaire Trellis Split Shank Engagement Ring |
| Approx. Band Width | 2.17mm |
| Approx. Band Thickness | 1.8mm |
| Metal | 14K Rose Gold, 14K White Gold, 14K Yellow Gold, Platinum |
| Match Shapes | Oval, Cushion, Emerald, Asscher, Round, Radiant |
Options and pricing
The 48 variants multiply four metals, six stone shapes and two Ring Style values, Solitaire and Unique, and the listing does not explain how those two differ. Rose, white and yellow 14K gold are each $1,495 and platinum is $1,895, with the same prices for both styles. Match Shapes offers oval, cushion, emerald, asscher, round and radiant. The band is approximately 2.17mm wide and 1.8mm thick.
How it compares
The matching Roho Wedding Band starts at $695 and shares the 2.17mm width. The Pelo Twisted Vine Cathedral Solitaire Engagement Ring Setting is listed from $1,295 on a 2mm band, and the Xol Bezel Solitaire Engagement Ring Setting starts at $1,795 on a 3.5mm band, so Roho sits between them in both price and width.
Shipping, returns and warranty
Shipping: the Shipping & Returns page says US orders over $100 ship free and that fine jewelry, diamonds and engagement rings are handcrafted to order and usually fulfilled within 1 to 4 weeks, sent by UPS 2-day shipping with an adult signature required. The FAQ gives other figures, an estimated 4 to 6 weeks for custom rings and generally 6 to 8 weeks of production from payment, and says the checkout page shows an estimate, so confirm the date there. Fine jewelry ships only within the United States according to the FAQ; international orders are limited to the Demi-Fine Collection. 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. Resizing: the FAQ says one complimentary resizing is offered within the first 6 months and certain ring styles can be resized up to 2 sizes up or down; after 6 months it costs $80 for gold and $100 for platinum. Warranty: the FAQ says the store guarantees its fine jewelry against manufacturing defects at the time of delivery for life and repairs a confirmed defect at no cost, while damage from wear and tear or trauma is quoted before any work. Excluded examples include scratching, loss of center stones, product loss or theft, discoloration from chemicals or make-up and prongs that wear down over time. 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. The FAQ says the store's diamonds come from suppliers that follow strict ethical standards, are conflict-free and comply with the Kimberley Process; it publishes no supplier list. There is no showroom, so you cannot see a piece in person, and the pages disagree on production time and on whether a damaged item gets an exchange or only a repair; ask for the estimate and the remedy in writing before you order. The ring builder has three steps (setting, diamond, complete ring), so the setting price here is not the price of the finished ring.
What we liked
- The shank is named and described: a split shoulder shank forming a trellis with an open gallery
- Both band dimensions are stated: 2.17mm wide and 1.8mm thick
- A cathedral top, which the listing says adds height, is part of the design
- Prices are stated by metal: $1,495 in each 14K gold color and $1,895 in platinum
- 36 complete rings of this design are in the catalog, from $2,539.10 to $21,022.48
Worth noting
- $1,495 buys the setting only; finished rings of this design in the catalog start at $2,539.10
- The Ring Style option offers Solitaire and Unique, and the listing does not say what Unique changes
- Platinum is $1,895 where each 14K gold color is $1,495
- Only six stone shapes are offered
Questions before you buy
What is the trellis on this ring?
The listing says a split shoulder shank creates a trellis with an open gallery, and that the center is designed with a cathedral top that adds height. The band is approximately 2.17mm wide and 1.8mm thick.
What does the Ring Style option change?
The variants list two values, Solitaire and Unique, but the listing does not explain the difference. Prices are the same for both: $1,495 for each 14K gold color and $1,895 for platinum.
How do the catalog's complete rings of this design break down?
On 2026-10-20 the catalog held 36 complete rings of this design, 34 natural and 2 lab-grown, from 1 to 4.09 carat. Round accounts for 29 listings, emerald and oval for 3 each and cushion for 1, and IGI reports cover 34 listings and GIA reports 2.
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 does a made-to-order piece take?
The pages differ. Shipping & Returns says fine jewelry is usually fulfilled within 1 to 4 weeks; the FAQ says an estimated 4 to 6 weeks for custom rings and generally 6 to 8 weeks of production from payment, with an estimate on the checkout page. Ask the store for a date in writing.
Does Lola Ade resize rings?
The FAQ says certain ring styles can be resized up to 2 sizes up or down, with one complimentary resizing within the first 6 months. After 6 months resizing costs $80 for gold and $100 for platinum. Ask first whether this style qualifies.
Is financing available?
The FAQ says financing is available through Shop Pay and tells buyers to contact Shop Pay for details; it lists no terms or rates, so check them at checkout.

What we couldn’t verify
- The Ring Style option lists Solitaire and Unique, and the listing does not say what Unique changes.
- The listing names no largest center-stone size for the setting.
- 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 production time (1 to 4 weeks, 4 to 6 weeks, 6 to 8 weeks) and 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.
- We have not seen this piece's grading report; the diamond grades come from the listing.
