What style of gem cut do you like best?

marquis is my favorite

I'm not a big fan of jewelry, I think certain cuts work best with certain stones. I kind of favour 4 and 8 sided geometrical shapes...

I like round cuts.

It depends on the stone. Different stones refract light differently (& have different cleavage) so for a diamond it would have to be a true brilliant cut, and for an emerald (my fave), an emerald cut.
For crystals to put rainbows in the house, a simple octagonal cut works best.

There's a reason for cutting different stones differently.

I like the square cut.

I like the princess cut, but my husband liked the round ones better, so we went with that for my diamond ring. It has a large round stone with three small ones in a triangle shape on each side - set in white gold.

I love emeralds & rubies.Therefore,I like the emerald cut best.Oh,yeah I like amethyst also.

Princess - the light hits it so much better

I've never thought about it.

I prefer a raw uncut gem

Like the Pink Panther? although I suppose that was cut.

Emerald.

Yeah, that was cut. take an Amethyst, I just prefer it in it's natural state,you know like a cluster of crystals. Or a geode, i love cracking open one of those...truly one of mama natures finest

I ran into a lapidary & antique shop in the sierra foothills back in my newlywed years. The proprietor had on his counter a 1/4" slab of stone he sliced which had a perfect image of the virgin mary on one side and a dove on the other. He had been a non-believer till then. I collect stuff like that all the time now, though at the time I considered an awesome quirk of nature, not realizing that all of reality could manifest in such a fashion and have meaning. I have plenty of raw stones (esp amethyst and smoky quartz) and nothing cut. I saw that raw amethyst energy in you instantly, though not in such words.

Thank You.

WOW...very cool. I personally haven't found things of that nature in stone, but rather I discover such things in wood, driftwood or whatever. I like to collect those "types" of items as well. It's funny how such objects find you...and how "we" can never find them.
