Tapered Baguette Sapphires

Tapered baguette sapphires have an elongated shape which starts off as a rectangle but instead of two long parallel sides they taper inward to form a long trapezoidal shape.  This shape is very popular for side stones, but for the centre stone can also be a wonderfully different elongated option.

The word “baguette” is a French word for a long, narrow loaf of bread. The tapered baguette is a set cut, not dissimilar to the step cut Emerald cut but in the long trapezoid shape, however we use the term to refer to the shape rather than the cut for our sapphires.
