Have you seen a baguette diamond before? These stunning gems immediately draw the eye with their long rectangular form and sleek yet thin lines, sporting square corners to give the diamond its distinct "stepped" style. Unlike traditional diamonds, which sparkle brightly but offer less elegance, baguette diamonds possess modern yet classic features perfect for jewelry design projects. Find out all you need to know about this wonderful cut here!
Where Do Baguette Diamonds Originate From?
Back into the past: The baguette cut was first popularised in the early 20th century by Louis Cartier. In 1924, he launched his collection of Tutti-frutti jewelry, which comprised tapered baguette diamonds mounted on platinum and gold. This look was an instant hit among people, and it became one of the iconic looks of Cartier. But why "baguette?" The name stems from the French language, meaning a stick or rod; some even argue its shape resembles French bread!
When To Wear Baguette Diamonds?
The long shape of baguette diamonds is both understated and elegant in a way that it will not overshadow an outfit, as it fits well in rings, pendants, and bracelets.

How to Find the Ideal Baguette Diamond
Let's be practical here; selecting a baguette diamond requires taking several key aspects into account. Here is what should be kept in mind:
-
Clarity
Given their reduced faceting, flaws more readily reveal themselves. For optimal performance in selecting baguette cuts, look for stones with VVS1 or VVS2 clarity ratings - these have minute imperfections only experienced experts can spot with magnifying glasses. -
Color
Color also counts when choosing a diamond. For an ageless look and a subdued look, use colorless diamonds that rank D-G in the color spectrum. Alternatively, we may use near-colorless stones with soft yellow hues, such as our Wedding Bands, to add a special touch and make something really memorable. -
Mined or Lab Grown?
At Bliss Diamond, you can choose between mined and lab-grown baguette diamonds. Our lab-created gemstones are absolutely identical to their mined counterparts in appearance, durability, and price, and they are more environmentally friendly!
