BAGUETTE CUT DIAMONDS COMBINE ELEGANCE, BEAUTY AND STYLE
SHOW STARS
These eye-catching pieces showcase the spectacular beauty of baguette-cut diamonds. The name baguette does not come from France’s favourite long white loaf but rather from la baguette, which means “stick” in French and provides a fitting description for this type of cut: a rectangle, precision-cut at 90° angles, with several stepped parallel facets, all of which are connected to the central, rectangular table facet. The cut, designed as a classic stepped cut in the 1920s, is reminiscent of the Art Deco movement with its clear, pure design, adorned with geometric and symmetrical elements.
OPULENT JEWELLERY WITH CLASSIC APPEAL
The baguette cut highlights the clarity and purity of a diamond more than its brilliance. This is due to the fact that, with baguette-cut diamonds, the cut facets on the crown and pavilion run parallel to the outer edges of the stone. The result is a diamond that does not sparkle as brightly as a round-cut diamond, for example. Instead, it stands out due to its clear shape. The crucial factor for the appearance of an individual baguette-cut diamond is the ratio of length to width. This ratio can completely change the look of a stone. While long, slim baguette-cut diamonds placed alongside one another combine to form an elegant sequence of stones, square-shaped baguette-cut diamonds can exude a more masculine, technical appearance.
