Clean lines and a simple shape have elevated the baguette from side-stone status to center stage in jewelry. The pure geometry of the baguette gives it a contemporary edge that offers designers a new form for their creative palette, providing a unique building block to use in their compositions. Baguettes are often found in Art Deco designs, their linear shape the foundation of the geometric styles that were a favorite of that era. Rectangular or tapered, angled or lined up, horizontal or vertical, baguettes are a versatile shape that is making a big comeback.
