This gives diamonds like Baguettes a very different appearance to Round Cut diamonds, with less sparkle and brilliance. These have more facets and as a result, have much more dazzling brilliance, as you can see from this Tapered Brilliant Baguette Three-Stone ring on Blue Nile. A ring set with Brilliant-Cut Baguettes will come at a much higher price, due not only to the Baguette itself, but the higher quality center stone needed to draw attention.
The difference between Baguette and Emerald Cut diamonds is the number of facets, and a small difference in shape. While both cuts can have a similar elongated, rectangular shape, Baguette cuts have square corners, while Emerald Cuts have diagonal corners. Baguettes are longer and narrower than Emerald Cuts. Typically Baguette Cuts will be sold in lower Carat weights than Emerald Cuts, as they are not often used as center stones, like the Emerald or Asscher Cut.
The lower number of facets on a Baguette means they provide much less shine than an Emerald, and imperfections on the diamond are easier to notice. Baguette diamonds make great choices for side stones in a three-stone setting. The perfect stone and setting will accentuate the center stone and produce a beautiful engagement ring. Most rings that feature Baguette diamonds have them set horizontally, one Baguette on each side drawing attention to a center stone.
A Tapered Baguette diamond is a beautiful way to add extra shine to a ring without taking away from the center stone. One of the most popular styles is a three-stone setting with Tapered Baguettes next to an Emerald Cut. Rings such as this feature perfectly matched Step Cut diamonds in the Emerald and Baguette Cuts that complement each other beautifully. Baguette diamonds make perfect accents for channel set rings.
This setting, with small diamonds set into the metal leading up to the center stone, is a clean and sophisticated look. As an example, see this Channel Set Ring from James Allen with straight Baguettes set end-to-end halfway along the band, which gives a brilliant overall shine. Baguettes are great additions to extravagant vintage settings. For rings with a lot of round diamonds, Baguettes add variety and can take the ring to a new level. See this Hexagon Baguette ring from Blue Nile , with a collection of straight Baguettes surrounding the center diamond.
Two rows of Baguettes are set around the center stone, punctuated by round accent diamonds, for a show-stopping look. Baguettes make great choices for eternity rings. A row of straight Baguette diamonds, channel-set as in this ring from Blue Nile is a clean and elegant look. Using Baguette diamonds also keeps the cost down for a ring such as this, compared to fitting the ring all the way around with high-quality brilliant cuts, which will be largely hidden.
If you want a ring that really stands out, ballerina halo rings do that and more. Unlike the hexagon style halo, this setting features a ring of Baguette diamonds aligned pointing outwards in a radiant shape. These rings, such as this one from James Allen , deliver a unique and attention-grabbing allure.
Baguette diamonds are often less expensive than other diamond cuts. The price per carat for a Baguette diamond is likely to be less than, say, a round brilliant, or an emerald cut, as lower-quality cuts are used. It is possible to get high-grade Baguette diamonds, in which case the price per carat will be similar to more common cuts, if not more due to the increased scarcity of high-quality Baguettes. However, Baguette diamonds are almost always a lower carat weight, so individually they are not as expensive as other diamonds.
Baguette cut diamonds come with 14 traditional facets and flat tables that contribute to its reflection properties. These gemstones tend to offer the best sparkle under dim lighting. On the other hand, emerald cut diamonds flaunt around 58 facets like round brilliant and princess cut stones. However, the former does not offer the same brilliance as that of the latter options because of its unique step cut.
Emerald cut diamond ring designs will be a great option for all the couples who admire vintage diamond ring styles with a twist of modern minimalism. At the same time, baguette cut stones are perfect for those who want to steer away from traditional options. Baguette cut diamonds are ideally small and elongated.
Hence, they are commonly used as diamond accents rather than the center diamond. In addition, the shape and brilliance of baguette cut stones are ideal to accentuate any diamond shape at the center without distracting the attention of people from it.
The Emerald cut comes in most carat weights. In addition, there are many more colour and clarity options. Most jewellers sell rings with baguette diamond shoulders. Together with wedding and eternity rings, small sizes make ideal diamonds. Emerald cut diamonds are easier to source in larger sizes. In contrast, large Baguettes are hard to find. Matched pairs of baguettes suit diamond shoulders.
What do you look out for when buying both diamond shapes? There are two important details to consider. Firstly, the proportions of the diamond. Secondly, the clarity of the stone. First of all, proportions are very important.
Find a balance between length to width ratios. Choose a length 1. Look for a nicely proportioned diamond. Not too thin, and not too squat. Thin Baguette cut diamonds rarely suit solitaire engagement rings. Next, consider clarity. Choose VS1 clarity or above for your step-cut diamond. Below this clarity grade, inclusions become visible. By comparison, brilliant cut diamonds hide inclusions very well.
Small inclusions appear more visible within a step-cut diamond. VS1 clarity ensures inclusions cannot be seen with the naked eye. That is to say, your diamond is eye-clean. Few buyers enjoy a diamond with noticeable inclusions. The following are some of the types of diamond jewellery set with a baguette shaped. Interestingly, baguette cuts are more suited to smaller diamonds—cut for eternity rings and diamond shoulders. Baguette and Emerald cut diamond engagement ring features include 4 claw settings.
Alternatively bezel settings feature for both Baguette and Emerald cut designs. Bezel settings suit Baguette cut diamonds. Furthermore, a bezel setting defines shape and protects the stone.
Baguette cut diamond engagement rings come in several different styles. The following are just a few of the different styles available :. One of our most popular types of baguette ring features a solitaire baguette set into a chamfered bezel setting.
