Like the emerald and Asscher cut, the baguette cut is a rectangular-shaped, step-cut diamond with straight or tapered edges. It is one of the most popular cuts for diamond engagement rings. Emerald-cut and baguette-cut diamonds are sometimes confused, but they are quite different. Emerald-cut diamonds are cut with 50-58 facets, whereas baguette diamonds are cut with 14 facets. Because the baguette cut is very thin and complements most types of diamond shapes, it is often used for the side stones on either side of a center stone.
