Our verdict
A pear cut lab-grown diamond in Fancy Yellow for a buyer who wants stated color, clarity and an IGI report on a 14kt yellow gold bezel necklace and can live with a weight quoted two ways. Look elsewhere if you need the exact carat weight settled, other metals or measured dimensions. The main caveat is the 1.05ct versus approximately 1.00ct difference inside the listing itself.
- Best for
- Someone who wants a Fancy Yellow pear cut lab-grown diamond in a sliding bezel on 14kt yellow gold.
- Skip if
- You need one settled carat figure or a different metal.
Why 3.5/5: Lifted by stated diamond color and clarity; 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).
A sliding bezel holds the pear cut diamond on this necklace, a lab-grown stone in Fancy Yellow color and VS+ clarity that the listing calls IGI-certified. The 14kt yellow gold chain adjusts from 16" to 18", and the page lists a single variant at $1,495. The stone's weight reads 1.05ct in the description but approximately 1.00ct in the spec list, and the listing says the piece is offered for a limited time.
Options and pricing
The page offers one variant, $1,495: 14kt yellow gold, a Fancy Yellow pear cut diamond in a sliding bezel and a chain that adjusts from 16" to 18". The weight differs between the text (1.05ct) and the spec list (approximately 1.00ct). The listing adds that a different color, shape or size can be requested through a complimentary quote, and that one piece is ready to ship while made-to-order pieces are given 3 weeks.
How it compares
The Princess Cut Lab-Grown Diamond Necklace is priced the same, $1,495, and the Green Emerald Lab-Grown Diamond Bezel Necklace is a little lower at $1,425, while the Pink Cushion Lab-Grown Diamond Necklace is $1,995. The titles show a different cut and color in each (princess, emerald, cushion; green and pink against yellow here), and the sibling details give no carat weights, so only prices can be set side by side.
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. This product page says: "Made-to-order pieces ship in 3 weeks." 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. This product page also says: "All fine jewelry orders are final sale and not eligible for return or exchange." 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.
What we liked
- Color and clarity are stated: Fancy Yellow and VS+, on a lab-grown pear cut diamond.
- An IGI Grading Report is listed as included, alongside the IGI-certified description.
- The setting is named as a sliding bezel, on an adjustable 16" to 18" chain.
- A single price, $1,495, with 14kt yellow gold named as the metal.
- The listing points to a complimentary quote if the buyer wants another color, shape or size.
Worth noting
- The weight is 1.05ct in the description and approximately 1.00ct in the spec list, so the exact figure is unclear.
- Only one variant exists, so a buyer who wants another metal or color has to go through a quote.
- The listing says one piece is ready to ship and gives 3 weeks for made-to-order ones, without saying how many pieces exist.
- No pendant size or clasp type is given, and the sliding bezel is not described beyond its name.
Questions before you buy
How heavy is the diamond?
The listing text gives 1.05ct and the spec list gives approximately 1.00ct. It does not explain the difference, so it is worth asking the store which figure applies before ordering.
What is the setting?
A sliding bezel setting, on an adjustable 16" to 18" chain in 14kt yellow gold. The listing says nothing further about the bezel.
What grades does the listing give?
Fancy Yellow color and VS+ clarity for a pear cut lab-grown diamond that the listing calls IGI-certified; it also says an IGI Grading Report comes with the piece.
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.
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.
Are lab-grown diamonds real diamonds?
GIA says laboratory-grown diamonds have the same crystal structure as natural diamonds, tightly bonded carbon atoms, and nearly the same chemical, optical and physical properties. By eye the difference can be indistinguishable, but gemological laboratories can detect the different growth history with advanced instruments. They are grown by high-pressure high-temperature (HPHT) or chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

What we couldn’t verify
- Weight is given as 1.05ct in the description and approximately 1.00ct in the spec list; the listing does not say which applies.
- The listing offers the piece for a limited time but gives no stock count or end date.
- The listing does not describe the sliding bezel beyond its name, and gives no pendant size or clasp type.
- 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.
