Important Things to Know about Baguette Diamond Wedding Rings

The main reason for using baguettes as the accent diamonds is that the elongated and slender structures of the gemstone are easier to embed in thin bands. In addition, their low facet count of 14 will also display a unique bling without distracting the attention of the spectator from the main gemstone.

The baguette diamond wedding rings gained prominence during the Art Deco period when geometric and romantic patterns were promoted in wedding diamond rings. Usually, people confuse baguettes with emerald cut diamonds because of their similarity in shape that flaunts sleek and lustrous step facets. However, the emerald cut diamond features angled corners, unlike the baguettes that have squared off edges.

There are two types of baguette diamonds: straight baguettes and tapered baguettes. The former one is the usual baguette gemstone and is ideally used as the accent stones in wedding diamond rings. In case of the latter one, it has tapered ends, hence the name tapered baguette diamonds; however, these stones can be used as accent diamonds as well as the main gemstone.
