rectangular Radiant, and two traps that flank each side

 

[laughwithme]

Princess...without a doubt...when I see them, as hard as I try, I cannot stop looking!

 

[LtlFirecracker]

Round Brilliant...

or a killer old cut cushion

 

[Prinny]

well i started out wanting princess cut, then went to cushion, then to round, and now I am sure i want an oval shape

I guess I''m kind of indecisive

 

[BlueSki231]

No doubt I want a round for my engagement ring!!!

but as for other rings/jewelry, I wouldn''t mind accumulating one of each shape over the years

 

[ladypirate]

I would love an asscher, but it will be a few years before that upgrade. For now we are going to be getting engaged with an OEC.

Me too! Except my center stone is a sapphire and while I wanted to radiant cut, it was almost impossible to find, so in the end, I got a 'octagonal mixed cut' from Jeff White and sometimes people call it emerald cut.

I have a round brilliant, which in my opinion, is the most sparkly out of all the shapes!!! But, I also LOVE chunky cut cushions....

 

[audball]

I never really knew, but since finding PS I''ve fallen for the good old RB. Though lately the OEC''s are calling me....

 

[Still_Waiting]

I have my heart set on a round brilliant, but if the Tiffany Legacy showed up on my finger I wouldn''t turn it away! I believe it''s a specially modified cushion patented by Tiff''s.

 

[purselover]

I really want an asscher or emerald cut, my third choice is probably a cushion cut, but I really don''t think there any cuts I don''t like!

 

[Brown.Eyed.Girl]

Round brilliant! AGS Ideal, please

Although years down the line, I will kill for an asscher RHR

oooh...that sounds like a fabulous idea!!!

I am getting a round but really, I love most shapes...especially step cuts and OECs.

 

[MrsFrosty]

I have a round diamond, but i also like the princess cut.

 

[fuzzers]

I''m all about simple shapes so I like rounds and princesses.

 

[Fleur_de_Lis]

EC followed closely by RB

 

[AllieGator]

Mine will be a sapphire, either an asscher or square radiant, or a cushion of some variety. In a solitaire setting.

 

[that_someone_special]

I did want a princess, then RB, and now an OEC.. which is what I am getting..

 

[mrscushion]

I want a cushion brilliant!

What is OEC?

I started out wanting emerald but now i want cushion.
honestly, I''d be happy with any shape. I''ve never met a diamond I didn''t like.

Ditto. I can''t stop staring at ladies hand wherever I go! When I get caught staring, usually in the subway, I feel a little embarressed.

Almost the feeling of getting caught doing something I shouldn''t be doing. It''s so much fun to look though!
I know when I get engaged, I''ll be really understanding if I catch someone looking at my ring.

I started out wanting emerald but now i want cushion.

honestly, I'd be happy with any shape. I've never met a diamond I didn't like.

It's an older cut (OEC stands for Old European Cut), with chunky facets that throws out fire like WHOA. Plus it's stunning in warmer colours (personally, I love the J/K/L range). I'm sure there are threads on them in Rocky Talky, go check it out!

 

[Mrs_Darcy]

Before I found PS, I''d always wanted a princess cut. But then I fell in love with pear sidestones. I know I want pear sides, but I haven''t completely decided on the center stone. I love princesses, but I''m not sure I''d love one with pears. If not, then it will definitely be an RB.

 

[Blackpaw]

emerald cut all the way baby

since getting into pricescope ive come to appreciate other cuts though, like oval.

oh and the other cut ive considered for an ering is a rectangular lucida from tiffanys...but then looking at it recently i thought perhaps its essentially just a rectangular cushion...? i dont know...

 

[trillionaire]

Trillions for me!!! They are triangular and fun and funky! Yay!

I am a lunatic for step-cuts, they totally hypnotize me! Step cut trillions, or EC''s or asschers!

They make me all warm and fuzzy.

 

[kittybean]

I have an emerald cut. It''s always been my favorite.

I was just at a marriage class, so of course, I was checking out all the women''s rings (all newly-engaged ladies), and I saw a majority with princesses, most of the rest with RBs, and one other EC (must befriend her!). Several of my recently-engaged girlfriends also have princess cut center stones.

 

[The Future Mrs.]

I''d like to have the Emerald Cut, initially I wanted the radiant, but the Emerald was more affordable. In a colored stone.

 

[Winks_Elf]

I'm getting a small round, but a few months ago we came across a 2.11 carat marquise, J/SI1 with a small culet that under the loupe looked like a little diamond in a diamond. It was beautifully cut, had virtually no bowtie, and was just a dream. I'd put that rock into a classic HW setting with an engraved shank, or a cathedral with engraving and melee on the sides. It was so gorgeous!

The real ring of my dreams, believe it or not, is a Tiffany & Co. Ribbon Collection ring, with about a 3/4 carat round center (that's the best size for that design). I actually owned one with a .32 carat center years ago. I had exchanged a couple of Christmas presents and had enough credit from the returns for the ring. It was stunning. Everywhere I went people grabbed my hand. I adore the design, especially since there are no prongs holding the center (it's actually a semi-bezel head), and the beaded sides...*sigh* I rarely let myself fantasize about that ring anymore. My boyfriend is very practical, totally not into jewelry, and I would never let him know just how much I love that ring because I would not want to insult him. He's already decided to use his mom's ring (a very practical decision, as well as an honor to me), and I would never speak up that I want anything else (except here!). But that ring is my secret fantasy.
