The History of Baguette Diamonds
Baguette diamonds have been around for more than a century.

The jewelry industry was accepting and fast to adopt because it signaled a departure from traditional round-cut stones.
What To Look Out for When Buying a Baguette Diamond
1. Cut
Fewer facets mean that the flaws in a baguette diamond can be noticed more quickly than in other cuts. To guarantee that defects are not readily apparent, each facet's cut has to be precise.
2. Color
Baguettes come in a variety of colors. To make sure that the color of the baguette diamonds matches the color of the center stone, choose a baguette with a color grade that is higher than that of the center stone.
3. Clarity
Baguette diamonds have varying degrees of clarity. When choosing a baguette diamond, go for one with a clarity grade higher than that of a typical round diamond to ensure there are no obvious flaws in your piece of jewelry.
4. Carat Weight
Baguette diamonds have lesser-carat weights. They are usually less than one-carat cuts.
