A Baguette diamond is a Step-Cut diamond; long and rectangular or tapered in shape with 14 facets, owing its name to the elongated shape of French baguette bread.
Baguette-Cut diamonds first emerged during the Art Deco and Art Nouveau periods between the 1920s and 1930s, signalling a departure from traditional Round-Cut stones. Baguette diamonds were different, daring and beautifully embodied the rebellious sentiments of the time.
Baguette-Cut diamonds and gemstones have enjoyed enduring popularity since, featuring prominently as both focal and accent stones in modern day engagement rings, wedding bands, dress rings, pendants and more.
