This unique circular ring features a cluster of round brilliants surrounded by invisibly-set tapered baguettes in 18k white gold. This classic diamond ring could be a statement engagement ring, a wow-factor wedding band, or an amazing cocktail ring. The baguettes in this regal anniversary band in 18k white gold are graduated and framed by graduated size round brilliants. Secrete Fine Jewelry designed this amazingly unique eternity band featuring tapered baguettes, rounds, and marquise-cut diamonds in a joyful cluster full of movement. Baguette bread was named in the 1920s, so the diamonds were not named after the bread if anything, the bread was named after the diamonds. “Bague” means ring in modern french, but in the 17th century, the word “bague” meant “jewel,” and historical dictionaries show “baguette” referring to “little jewels” as far back as 1673. Many people believe that “baguettes” take their name from the bread, but history shows it may well be the other way around. A baguette can be straight or tapered, very long or not so long, step-cut or brilliant, but as a rule, a baguette is at least twice as long as it is wide and has pointed corners. “Baguette” refers to a few different shapes of stones. So this is our ode to the baguette, a shape of diamond often seen yet seldom celebrated. These long narrow stones are most often relegated to the position of “mere side stone” but, as any jewelry connoisseuse knows, the side stones in her jewelry are far from inconsequential side stones, when well placed and positioned, can elevate a simple center stone to masterpiece status, and poorly chosen side stones can simply ruin a piece of jewelry. Baguette diamonds are such unsung heroes.
