Baguette cut center diamonds make stunning engagement rings and create a real head turning look.

They have that Art Deco style and to receive one as an engagement ring will delight as you observe the warm glow and sparkle that comes from the baguette cut diamond.

The baguette diamond ideally has a size ratio of 1:2 where the sides are twice as long as the width. This can change though especially when they’re used as side stones. They make great side stones because they leave no gap that round cut diamonds leave. As a centerpiece the baguette cut works well with smaller baguettes and other diamonds around it which is what you see a lot of in our selection above. The prices vary a lot and this is mainly due to the carat size of the diamonds you’re getting.

The baguette cut normally has 14 facets to the diamond. The good thing about baguette and typically square shaped diamonds is that you get more for your money than you would a round cut diamond. This is the case too with emerald cut and radiant cut diamonds too. Square shaped diamonds are made using step cuts and this is what creates that warm glow you get from the light with these shapes of diamonds. The above engagement rings represent the best we could find on the web for this unusual and very pretty diamond.
