baguette definition and meaning

What is "baguette"?

Baguette refers to a style of diamond or gemstone cut that is rectangular in shape with straight edges and stepped facets. This type of cut is often used for accent stones in jewelry, or for creating a line of stones in a piece, such as in a tennis bracelet. The name "baguette" comes from the French word for "stick," which is fitting since the shape of the cut resembles a narrow, elongated stick. The baguette cut is popular for its sleek and sophisticated look, and is often used in modern and vintage-inspired jewelry designs.
