Or maybe it's a sapphire baguette? I'm not sure... Either way, I was recently given the gift of a sapphire and ruby baguette ring, and I have no clue what this means. The gemstones look regular to me and I don't understand what makes them 'baguette'. It doesn't mean that they are fake, does it?

A three-stoned diamond ring has what is called sapphire or ruby baguettes when the diamond is framed by either two sapphires or two rubies that are cut rectangularly to be embedded in the band itself. This means, that they aren't set rising from the band, they are set within the band at the same height and width as the band. This look usually accents the main diamond in a more subtle way making the diamond the centerpiece of the ring.

I beg to differ with the previous answer. A baguette sapphire or baguette ruby only alludes to the shape of the gemstone. It's shaped kind of like a baguette (the elongated French bread), because it's long a narrow. There's also such thing as baguette diamonds too, or for that matter, any precious gemstone can be cut in a baguette shape. The name 'baguette' does not indicate whether the gemstones are real or fake. Both real and synthetic diamonds and gemstones can be 'baguettes'. If you suspect the ring is made from imitation gemstones, you can get an appraisal to lay your doubts to rest once and for all.
