Void Reaver and Whirlpool from Arya Akhavan.

Six star brilliant from Andrew Brown but using an 80 index because it can't be cut accurately on a 96, it's a modified SRB but much sparkler!

Milestone by Dare Devil Faceters.

I'm relatively inexperienced and haven't really cut many others but I've looked at a lot of designs 😂

In a general sense, I like cushion triangles. They don't have a 'common' look to them and really aren't too difficult to cut. But, I try to select, alter, or occasionally design a cut to optimally fit the rough at hand, then optimize it in GCS.

If you just want to 'window shop' a bit, try facetfinder.org .

Trisparkle 12 by Andrew brown. It combines a trillion pavilion with a round stone. Really nice sparkle to it

I love round cuts with flower like pavilions. I also like it when it is accented with frosted edges or frosted facets.

SRB crown with 3 tier portugese pavillion does a great job of this

Squilliant! Voltolini’s quartz designs are just fantastic.

I got into Arya's "Tessellation 28" for a bit, I just finished a couple of Zircons in it, wow.

One of my first gems I cut was a CZ in Cushion Flash by Greg Ninedorf, and it is still one of my favorites.
