Lola Ade Yellow Pear Lab-Grown Diamond Drop Earrings Review

Color is the point of these pear drop earrings: the listing sets yellow lab grown diamonds, described as Fancy Yellow with VS+ clarity, in 14kt yellow gold with friction backs. The description gives 4.51ctw while the spec lines say approximately 4.50ctw. They are listed at $3,995 as a single variant, with one pair described as ready to ship and further pairs made to order.

Options and pricing

There is one configuration, 14kt yellow gold with yellow diamonds and friction backs, priced at $3,995. The listing says one pair is ready to ship right now and that, if it has been claimed, the store makes another to order, with a stated production time of 3 weeks. It also invites buyers to book a complimentary quote for a different color, shape or size, but no such options appear in the variant list.

How it compares

The Lab Grown Pear Cut Diamond Studs also use pear-shaped stones, in 14kt yellow or white gold at 2.00 ctw, 3.00 ctw or 4.00 ctw from $2,195, and the Lab Grown Emerald Cut Diamond Studs start at the same price. The Lab-Grown Diamond Stud Earrings start at $395. This drop pair is a single listing at $3,995 with approximately 4.50ctw of yellow diamonds and no weight or metal options.

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.
