Beautiful Baguette Diamond Ring Designs

Harkening back to the Art Deco era, baguette diamonds make for a sleek and sophisticated look when set in wedding bands or engagement rings. As their name alludes to, baguette diamonds are named for their long and slender shape.

The use of clean lines and futuristic geometric forms were signature characteristics in Art Deco rings, reflecting the bold spirit of the roaring 20s. The streamlined geometric shape of baguette cut diamonds fits effortlessly into this motif. Today’s re-imaged baguette diamond ring designs have a vintage appeal that’s perfect for the modern bride.

What is a baguette cut diamond?

A baguette cut diamond is a step cut diamond. They are long and rectangular in shape and offer exceptional clarity.

Baguette Cut Diamond vs. Emerald Cut Diamond

Baguette and emerald cut diamonds are known as step cut diamonds. This cut offers a different type of beauty from a classic round cut diamond, offering exceptional clarity and a distinctive look when set in fine jewelry. Step cut diamonds are either found in square or rectangular shapes, and their facets are rectilinear (made up of straight lines). This cut’s long, narrow facets produce a prismatic reflection as opposed to brilliance, evoking a house of mirrors or a staircase look—hence their name!

Emerald cut diamonds typically have 50-58 facets while baguette diamonds have 14. Emerald cut diamonds are often featured as the main stone in engagement rings and other fine jewelry. Baguette cut diamonds are commonly used as side stones to accentuate the beauty of a different shaped center gem.

Straight Baguette vs. Tapered Baguette

Straight baguette diamonds are perfectly rectangular with opposing sides being perpendicular to each other. Tapered baguette diamonds are narrower on one of their two ends, creating a trapezoidal shape. Either type of baguette diamond looks exceptional when framing a center diamond, but we especially love the look of tapered baguettes in three stone rings!
