I picked cushion.  Next up would have been oval because I love it on my hand (especially a BIG one) or round because nothing performs better than a well-cut round... and, I just can't tear myself away from them.  But, I couldn't decide between the two, so, I stuck with cushion. (Besides, some cushions look oval, others round... I'm covered, right?)

I picked asscher and cushion.  I find the asscher cuts to be mesmerizing and so timeless.  I don't have a cushion yet but it's on my wish list!

I chose Asscher and Radiant, but I'd agree that it's too hard to decide.  I have a marquise center stone ring which I dearly love (though I'd sure like to replace it with either of the 2 white marquise loose diamonds DBL is offering now), and a pair of dangle earrings with round and pear sounds great to have.  

Does it depend on the jewerly design?  

Shape of fingers?  Personal choice?

What do you think?

Asschers and Rounds come equal first; having said that, each stone and especially fancy colours, is a world on its own.

For me, it's asschers, emeralds and ovals. Then cushions, then rounds then pears then marquise then radiants IF it's for a ring. Pendants and earrings are different again, then it's pears, ovals, emeralds,
rounds...

Ok, am unable to select two. Not much good at polls, am I?!  I love em all, is the trouble!

I picked EC and Asscher because the step cuts are my favorite.  But I do love something about almost every cut, particularly princess cuts, square radiants and squarish cushions.  Next up would be ovals, pears and hearts.  It depends on the style of setting, as well.  I find that some cuts look better for pendants or earrings; others are more suited to 3 stone rings or halos.

I picked round and cushion, though I truly don't think I have a favorite.  Rounds because they are so classic and nothing beats rounds studs in my book, and cushions because there is just something about the pillow top that I love almost everytime.  That said, my Eagle is a radiant and I wouldn't have her any other way, and I am definitely digging on asschers right now.  This is an impossible choice!

That leads me to a question...

What is the next diamond shape or color that anyone is pursuing next?

Mine would be a fantastic orange step cut diamond---oh to dream Smiley

I always thought my favorite was a round stone, but I just recently chose a radiant (square) for my engagement ring (which is currently being masterfully set by David and crew). I also really enjoyed looking at the cushions...I guess sometimes you change your mind when you find that perfect stone.

Actually, I love them all! But if I had to pick just one, it would be radiant at the moment.
