Many Square, Oblong
or rectangular diamonds are 'step cut' which is used for Baguette cut diamonds.
Long thin oblongs are often known as baguettes. A Baguette cut is
therefore often referred to as 'Step cut' or 'Table cut'. The facets on
a 'Step cut' or 'Table cut' are cut in steps, parallel to the edges
which could be described as a pyramid with its top chopped off. These diamonds are
bright, clear and shiny in appearance as its facets usually span the length or width of
the stone, the facets gradually decreasing as they approach the table
and culasse.

include the Width and Depth of the stone, the
Symmetry and the alignment of a diamond's facets and the
polish. Diamond Clarity is a measure of a diamond's blemishes and inclusions which
also effect the brilliance
of diamonds and their sparkle because they interfere with the passage of
light travelling through the precious stone. The skill of the jeweller will
ensure that Baguette cut diamonds have a suitable cut to
