Baguettes are having their stylistic day in the sun, again, after falling out of fashion for a long while. It’s fun to watch designers rediscover this previous side-liner and put them center stage in the middle of interesting new designs as the main event.

There’s something very fresh about a burst of diamond baguettes or a geometric pattern in colored stones. The (long) skinny is baguettes are back, and we’re all lining up to get them.

Here’s a collection of 18 geometric designs that range from outrageous to stunningly simple.

Katie Diamond’s “Lena” ring is simple and stackable in 14-karat gold with ruby, diamond and sapphire (from $420).<br />
