Baguette Diamond Rings

While they do appear similar, a baguette cut is different to an emerald cut diamond ring, with tell-tale differences lying in their shape. While baguette diamonds have non-bevelled, sharp angled corners (like a rectangle), the emerald diamond has cut and polished corners, giving it a softer and slightly more rounded shape. Both offer a more subtle and simpler cut than the brilliant diamond.

Choosing a baguette diamond wedding band lends an air of sophistication to any ring profile, without being too dramatic or requiring a large statement piece to shine. One carat baguette diamonds are less common than their emerald cut cousins, so a featured baguette stone in engagement rings or choosing baguette wedding bands will make your wedding set even more spectacular.

The baguette diamond earned the moniker from its long, thin shape, similar to that of the French bread loaf ‘baguette’. The baguette cut first appeared in the early 20th century during the Art Deco period, when resistance to the mainstream was revered. A baguette diamond ring and the accompanying wedding ring became popular for their tradition-breaking shape, attracting those with a strong sense of self and style - a baguette cut diamond ring was considered the pinnacle of individuality.

Yes! Featuring 14 facets (the flat faces on a diamond), the baguette diamond is often used as an accent stone to support statement stones like the brilliant cut diamond - boasting 58 facets - in today’s engagement, wedding and promise rings. If you’re looking for a stone with a vintage aesthetic, baguette diamond engagement rings offer old-world charm with their more delicate and subtle shine, balancing the boldness of a diamond with a dainty aesthetic.
