Much like the delectable gourmet bread it shares its name with, the Baguette diamond is considered a delight for jewelry connoisseurs. Both derive their name from the French word for ‘elongated.’ The baguette is a thin, long, rectangular diamond with fewer facets than the more brilliant round or oval cuts. As a result, it sparkles less, though not without retaining a luxurious appearance.
This unique quality makes the Baguette diamond the ideal choice for an accent stone in your precious jewelry. Choosing the perfect accent stone is an art in itself, and it plays a pivotal role in the overall allure of your engagement ring. Much like a conductor orchestrating a symphony, selecting the right accent stone can elevate the center stone’s magnificence to new heights or diminish its brilliance if chosen thoughtlessly. So, embark on this journey with care, for the baguette diamond awaits, ready to accentuate the beauty of your cherished piece.
Baguette diamonds come from the family of step-cut diamonds, such as emerald and Asscher cuts, although they are priced lower than these two options. Step-cut diamonds feature straight lines, much like a staircase. However, a baguette has only about 14 facets, while emerald cuts have around 58 facets. This explains why the emerald makes the cut – quite literally – as a center stone, but a baguette doesn’t. Baguettes can be either in a perfect rectangle or with tapered trapezoid ends.
Due to the step cut, the clarity and cut of the diamond must be impeccable. Clarity is crucial because imperfections are more noticeable, and cut matters since there are only 14 facets. Other diamonds, like pavé stones, don’t encounter this issue. However, the current trend of ‘quiet luxury’ finds its perfect embodiment in vintage baguettes. While they may lack sparkle, they compensate with exceptional quality, opulence, and elegance. Moreover, the size of baguettes tends to be slightly more generous than other accent stones.
Celebrities like Grace Kelly, Amal Clooney, Liz Taylor, and Priyanka Chopra Jonas have all proudly displayed engagement rings adorned with baguette diamond accents. It’s a trend that remains timeless and evergreen. The combination of Art Deco nostalgia and contemporary minimalism gives you the best of both worlds when it comes to baguettes.
With baguettes, you’re always aiming for the unexpected and unconventional. Moreover, their elongated shape adds volume to the ring, making it a win-win choice. Utilizing baguettes as accents for three-stone rings, halos, or shank accents are all design trends that have endured the test of time.
