Baguette Engagement Rings Are For Both the Modern and Mature Bride

Baguette Engagement Rings are set with baguette diamonds which typically look like long rectangles. However, baguettes can actually come in somewhat different shapes. With tapered baguettes, the two long sides taper inward to form a subtle hourglass shape that is often accented by round or oval stones. Baguettes can also be cut in oblong, asymmetrical shapes for a more modern look.

Baguette sidestones look good with both intricately styled as well as simple bands. Popular center diamonds with baguette side-stones are round or princess cut stones. Typically baguettes are used on each side of the center diamond and can also be used in pairs. For all of you trivia buffs, the word "baguette" means "rod" in French.

Small baguettes can used in a channel or pave setting to complement large center stones. Baguette engagement rings also be used in wedding sets, and they are often the central stones in an interlocking wedding set.

Some consider baguettes to have an old-fashioned, romantic look without seeming without outdated. However, others feel that the clean lines of baguette engagement rings also make for a striking, contemporary look as well. From a jeweler's perspective, the baguette is a truly versatile look for the bride of any age.
