Baguette Diamonds for Channel Settings: Spec Tips for Manufacturers

What to put on the spec sheet

Length, width, depth, and how much spread you will accept. Channel work fails when one stone sits proud or sinks. Colour and clarity should be locked for the whole row, not stone-by-stone shopping.

Ask whether ends are square or slightly tapered into a neighbouring centre stone — that is a different SKU from a pure baguette programme.

Step cut vs brilliant side accents

Step cuts show colour more honestly and flash less fire. That is why many bridal and eternity lines prefer baguettes beside a brilliant centre — contrast without visual noise.
