Baguette Cut
The baguette cut is a slim rectangular step cut — named after the French loaf — that brings crisp geometry to Art Deco designs and frames larger stones beautifully.
What is a baguette cut?
A baguette is a long, narrow rectangle cut in steps, with clean straight lines and little sparkle of its own. Used singly or in rows, it is a classic accent or side stone.
History & why it matters
Baguettes came into their own in the geometric Art Deco era, flanking central stones and forming crisp lines in bracelets and engagement rings.
What affects value
As small step-cut stones, clean white baguettes are valued for matching and clarity. Antique Art Deco pieces command a premium. Browse diamond jewellery.
