Men's Baguette Earrings

The baguette: what a baguette diamond is and how it looks on a man's ear

A baguette is a small diamond cut as a long, narrow rectangle in flat steps. It gives a few broad flashes rather than a round's scattered sparkle, so on a man's ear it reads as straight lines and a sharp edge.

Most of these pairs mix baguettes with rounds, several with a block of baguettes in the middle ringed by small round diamonds. Four say baguette in the title and two more in their details. Three name only round stones, so check the photos or ask before you buy.

Width and weight: how big men's baguette earrings are in mm and grams

Go 8 to 9 mm across for every day. Most pairs sold in the year sat at that width. The pairs run from 6 to 10 mm, and one 10 mm pair is 11 mm top to bottom.

Grams run from 1.8 to 4.6, and every pair sold weighs 3.15 grams or less. Two listings say their grams cover both earrings, so ask about the rest.

Carat and clarity: how many carats men's baguette earrings carry, natural diamonds

Stay between half a carat and one carat. That band took seven in ten pieces sold, and every pair sold printed under one carat. On six pairs the figure is given for the side diamonds, so ask whether it counts the baguettes and covers both ears.

Every pair lists natural diamonds, SI to VS2 in clarity and G to H in color. A step cut shows the inside of a stone plainly, so ask how clean the baguettes are.

Gold: 18K or 10K, white or yellow gold baguette earrings

Take 18K. Eight of the nine pairs are made in it, three parts gold in four, which gives the yellow its rich color. The one 10K pair is the lightest at 1.8 grams and sold the second most pieces in the year.

Eight pairs come in white or yellow, one in yellow only, none in rose. White gold keeps the stones icy. Yellow casts them warmer and matches a yellow chain.

Backs and buying: screw back or push back, one earring, returns and the desk

None of the listings names its back. Find out which one a pair wears, and if it can be changed. A screw back threads on and stays fastened through sleep and the gym. A push back slides on faster.

All nine show as buyable, so ask the desk for the timing on yours. To wear one earring, ask whether a pair can be split.

Unworn and unaltered, a pair can go back within fourteen calendar days of delivery. The desk has to clear it before it ships, on the return label we send. Restocking takes five percent of the refund, and the return shipping comes out too. A pair made or changed for one person is final (refund policy). Ask the live chat about any pair by its item number, or call or text 212-872-9692 from 10 AM ET.
