Baguette Diamond Rings

The baguette diamond ring has been popular since the early 20th century, favoured for its difference from more common round shapes as well as its lightweight quality and modern geometric cut.

Your choice of diamond cut will likely come down to personal preference - the cut you love and the cut that reflects your personal style - rather than what is popular.

Due to their long, thin shape, baguette diamonds are usually less than one carat, and are frequently used as accent stones rather than centre stones.

Baguette stones can be used in a cluster ring to appear like one larger stone, and can also be used horizontally in your baguette ring, diamond engagement ring or infinity ring band.

Baguette diamond rings are not necessarily more expensive - in fact, using a number of smaller baguette cut stones could be more affordable than one large, high carat stone.

Like all diamonds, the price of baguette rings will vary depending on the diamond’s cut, clarity, colour and carat. Opting for a design with multiple, smaller baguette cut diamonds clustered together or styled in a ballerina style ring could be a budget-friendly option that still offers an impressive look and beautiful sparkle.

Despite baguette and emerald cut stones having similarities, a baguette cut stone has perfectly square corners, while an emerald cut diamond has diagonal edges.

This allows an emerald cut to be larger than a baguette diamond, which is typically long and thin. A baguette cut stone also has fewer facets than an emerald cut stone - this means a baguette cut is more likely to show any inclusions, another reason why baguette cut stones are typically smaller than other cuts, ideal for diamond earrings, pendants and rings.
