14K Gold Baguette Diamond Necklace

The piece

Baguette-cut diamond set along a 20mm bar, just under a carat total, on 14K gold. Baguettes are step cuts — flat planes rather than the faceted cone of a round — so they throw broad flashes instead of scatter, and a row of them reads as one continuous line of light rather than a series of points. That is also why they are unforgiving. Every stone is a rectangle sitting next to another rectangle, so any gap or tilt in the row is visible at a glance. 4.81 grams keeps it light enough for daily wear.
