The higher number of facets on an emerald cut allow it to achieve the brilliance you expect from the main diamond while still distinguishing it from the popular round cut.
This prevents your center diamond from having noticeable inclusions or a hint of yellow. Both regular and tapered baguettes are exceptional at framing a diamond and adding more sparkle to the ring.

The difference between Baguette and Emerald Cut diamonds is the number of facets, and a small difference in shape. While both cuts can have a similar elongated, rectangular shape, Baguette cuts have square corners, while Emerald Cuts have diagonal corners.
Baguettes are longer and narrower than Emerald Cuts. Typically Baguette Cuts will be sold in lower Carat weights than Emerald Cuts, as they are not often used as center stones, like the Emerald or Asscher Cut.
The lower number of facets on a Baguette means they provide much less shine than an Emerald, and imperfections on the diamond are easier to notice.

The price per carat for a Baguette diamond is likely to be less than, say, a round brilliant, or an emerald cut, as lower-quality cuts are used. It is possible to get high-grade Baguette diamonds, in which case the price per carat will be similar to more common cuts, if not more due to the increased scarcity of high-quality Baguettes.
However, Baguette diamonds are almost always a lower carat weight, so individually they are not as expensive as other diamonds. Baguette diamonds are more vulnerable and chip easier than other diamond cuts.
They are most often long and flat, with more surface area exposed. This makes it easier for the diamond to crack, chip or come loose if hit or bumped.
