Does anyone know if baguettes are real diamonds? I know they are sold as real, but why don't they shine like diamond?

Yes, baguettes are real diamonds. I think they don't shine like other shaped diamonds because of the way they are cut. They don't catch the light the same way. I have rings with baguettes and I have enjoyed them.

A baguette is typically a small, flat, rectangular diamond. Usually several baguettes are used to highlight a much larger gem.
