The **baguette cut** is a bar-shaped decorative milling (French //"la bague"//, the bar, //"baguette"//, the stick). Known from [[diamond]] processing ("[[Baguette diamond]]").

From the top view this cut looks rectangular, i.e. with four precisely ground out 90° corners. A baguette is usually twice to trice as long as wide. The cut-facets (surfaces) are in the upper and lower part parallel to the outer edges. Thus, the baguette cut is not as very lively and brilliant as for instance the [[brilliant cut]], but rather reserved.
