The tapered baguette diamond is a variation of the traditional baguette diamond, which was created during the 1920s. Traditional baguette diamonds emulate a rectangle shape, whereas tapered baguette diamonds taper in at the sides, creating a trapezoid shape. Because one side of the tapered baguette diamond is thinner than the other, they look incredibly dynamic and interesting. Both tapered baguette diamonds and traditional baguettes are visually striking when used as flanking stones, or as part of a larger jewellery design. Tapered baguette rings are incredibly popular due to their standalone sophistication and elegance.
