Marquise Crown Wedding Band in 14k Yellow Gold

14k yellow gold, moissanite

E. wanted a stacking band to pair with her engagement ring, inspired by the vine tattoos she already wears on her hand. The design went through several rounds of back-and-forth — bigger stones, then slightly smaller with one more added on each side, then a wider and sparklier vine band as a companion piece — before she and her fiance landed on a marquise cluster design with a small center stone connecting the two sides. When it arrived, she wrote: 'Oh my goodness! It is gorgeous. I'm obsessed.'

How they made it distinctive

01
Chevron shape designed specifically to nest against the point of the client's existing engagement ring
02
Graduated marquise stones chosen to echo the vine tattoo running up the client's ring finger
03
All-moissanite stone selection matched to the moissanite center stone in her engagement ring for a cohesive stack
04
Center marquise stone added mid-design to visually bridge the two sides, inspired by the cut of her engagement ring
05
Wider band profile chosen deliberately to suit her longer fingers and preference for a bolder stacking look

How you'd make it yours

Stone type: this piece uses moissanite throughout; a new commission could use lab diamonds for more brilliance or natural diamonds

Metal: this piece is 14k yellow gold; the same chevron design works in 18k gold, white gold, or rose gold

Band width: this piece is on the wider side for a stacking band; a new commission could be made narrower for a more delicate look

Stone count: this piece uses three marquise stones per side plus a center stone; a new commission could use fewer or more depending on the wearer's hand

One of a kind: this exact band was designed to pair with one specific engagement ring and is not reproduced — a new commission is an original piece inspired by this one, not a copy

Design changes made

The marquise stones were sized down slightly and one more was added to each side after the first sketch ran too large. A center marquise stone was added later to visually connect the two sides of the band, inspired by the cut of the client's engagement ring.

Who this is for

This piece is for someone who already has a clear design language they want carried into their wedding band — in this case, vine tattoos translated into a jewelry motif. It's especially right for someone who wants their stack to feel cohesive with an existing engagement ring rather than just complementary, and who prefers a bolder, wider band over something delicate.

How it's made

Once the chevron design was finalized in CAD, a resin model was 3D printed and shipped to the client so she could test the fit and proportions against her engagement ring before any metal was committed. After she confirmed the fit, the model was used to produce an investment mold, and molten 14k yellow gold was cast into the mold to form the raw band. The casting was then cut from its sprue and cleaned up in preparation for stone setting. The band was polished to a mirror finish along its full length, with no matte or textured zones, to keep the look cohesive with the client's engagement ring. The graduated marquise stones were hand-set into v-shaped prongs along the top of the chevron, and the round accent stones were pavé-set in a continuous line down each shoulder toward the plain shank. Because moissanite cuts and sizes have more limited availability than diamond, the stone-matching for the marquise shapes was confirmed once the model was built rather than earlier in the design phase.

Key note

A resin model of the band was mailed to the client before casting specifically so she could try it on next to her engagement ring and confirm the proportions worked together as a stack — a fit check that happens before any gold is committed.

Pricing guidance

A stacking wedding band with graduated marquise stones and pavé shoulders in 14k gold sits in the mid range for custom bands of this complexity. Most of the cost comes from the hand-setting required for the graduated stone sizes and the pavé shoulder work, rather than the gold itself. Stone type and count are the biggest levers on price from there.

Moves price up ↑

↑
Using natural diamonds instead of moissanite for all stones
↑
Increasing the number of marquise stones per side beyond three
↑
Widening the band further, which increases both metal and pavé labor
↑
Upgrading to 18k gold instead of 14k
↑
Adding a matching design element that wraps further around the band

Moves price down ↓

↓
Reducing the marquise stone count on each side
↓
Using a narrower band width with less pavé coverage
↓
Choosing a single stone size throughout instead of graduated sizing
↓
Simplifying the pavé shoulders to a plain polished shank
↓
Choosing smaller center and accent stone sizes

Questions people ask

Is moissanite durable enough for a wedding band you wear every day?

Yes. Moissanite rates 9.25 on the Mohs hardness scale, just below diamond's 10, which makes it one of the hardest gemstones available for daily wear. It resists scratching from everyday activities and holds up well in a stacking band worn alongside other rings. The main maintenance consideration is the same as any pavé or prong-set ring: periodic prong checks to make sure stones stay secure over years of wear.

Can you match moissanite stones to an existing moissanite engagement ring?

Yes, moissanite can be sourced to closely match the color and clarity of an existing center stone, though exact shape and size availability varies more than with lab diamonds. Marquise-cut moissanite in small accent sizes is available but may require checking availability once the design's exact stone dimensions are set. Matching origin and material across a stack is a common request specifically so the pieces read as one cohesive set on the hand.

What does a custom stacking wedding band with multiple stones typically cost?

A stacking band with graduated marquise stones and pavé shoulders in 14k gold typically falls in the mid range for custom bands of this complexity. The main cost driver is labor — hand-setting graduated stone sizes and continuous pavé takes more time than a plain band or a single-stone design. Metal karat, stone type, and band width are the variables that move the price most from there.

How long does it take to make a custom stacking band?

The design phase for a stacking band like this typically takes about one to two weeks, including a sketch, a 3D render, and often a 3D-printed resin model mailed to the client to test fit before casting. Once the design is approved, production takes about four weeks for casting, stone setting, and finishing. Clients working toward a specific date should factor in the full five-to-six week window from design approval to delivery.

Can a stacking band be resized after it's made?

A band with continuous stone coverage along the top and pavé shoulders has more limited resizing range than a plain band, because resizing can distort the stone settings if the change is too large. Small adjustments of a half size or so are usually possible. Larger changes may require remaking sections of the band, so it's worth confirming your ring size carefully, including trying on a resin model, before the final casting.

What's the difference between a chevron stacking band and a straight eternity band?

A chevron or V-shaped band is designed to nest against the point of a solitaire or similar engagement ring setting, with the stones following the V shape rather than running straight across. A straight eternity band has stones set in a continuous line all the way around and sits flat against most ring styles. The chevron shape is specifically chosen when a client wants the stacking band to visually hug the point of their center stone rather than sit as a separate flat line.

Can you make a matching men's wedding band in the same gold as a women's stacking band?

Yes, a men's band can be made in the same 14k or 18k gold to match a women's stacking set, typically in a wider width such as 8mm to 10mm. Common finishes for men's bands include a matte top with polished beveled edges or a fully polished smooth profile. Matching the gold karat and tone across both pieces is a common request for couples who want their rings to read as a set.
