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.
