Baguette cut diamonds were invented in the first half of the 20th Century, around the 1920s and 1930s. A baguette cut diamond ring is one of the most popular choices for engagement rings in the modern era. The vintage baguette ring was given its name due to the cut of the diamonds used, which are long and rectangular, like a baguette. 

This style of diamond cut became popular due to its functionality. They require fewer cuts than other diamonds, but this doesn’t mean they are that much easier to produce. Each cut has to be extremely precise. If the cut isn’t, flaws in the stone can be more easily seen. This makes baguette cut rings incredibly interesting. They were also popular due to their weight- they were created in less than one carat cuts. However, their value isn’t in the carat number- creating a high quality baguette cut diamond ring takes expertise. Because they have as little as 14-24 facets, the quality of the cut makes a beautiful looking diamond. If one facet isn’t perfect, the diamond is ruined. Vintage baguette rings are valuable precisely because of the expertise it takes to create them. 

This style of ring was extremely popular in the Art Deco movement of the 1920s. Their innovative style marked a clear movement away from traditional, round stones. The rectangular cut of the stone fit in perfectly with the art movements of this period. This means you can see many vintage baguette rings when you look at collections of Art Deco engagement rings. Baguette cut diamond rings were a symbol of extravagance and boldness. They are truly emblematic of a period of history renowned for its dynamic spirit. There are truly many beautiful examples of vintage baguette rings which were the height of style then, and that beauty remains today. 

Baguette cut diamonds are incredibly versatile. Baguette diamonds can be used as shoulder pieces, which means they surround other jewels in the ring. This often creates a stunning design, and this can be seen most often in vintage baguette rings. However, as time has passed, stunning designs using only baguette rings have become very popular. Baguette cut diamond rings remain amongst the most stylish jewellery options.
