Does anyone have ring style / shape suggestions for my hand? I feel like I have chubby fingers so I want the most flattering shape. I don’t like princess or cushion or pear. I am leaning toward elongated cushion

I don’t think you have chubby fingers, what you have is tapered fingers with small knuckles, so what holds a ring is your flesh… I hope I’m making sense! I would choose a ring with a split shank that gives finger coverage. Something like the pic I attached below (from Pinterest) would look spectacular on your finger, and you could wear it a bit looser than a thin band. HTH!

I don't feel you have chubby fingers and actually you have long fingers. I'm no expert but I'd throw a shot.
Since you have long fingers, you can get away with "horizontal" ring like an eternity ring. And to give it a little elongated visual, I'd pick the emerald stones just like this pic. However I'm not sure on the comfort as I've never tried one. Happy deciding!

As a person who has small hands and short fingers (they look long because I have long-ish nails). I think your fingers are quite long which is wonderful for wearing all sizes of rings. :tup:
(I have to make sure that my ring band width is not too wide otherwise it makes my fingers look very short and stubby.)

But I do agree with others that you need to try on rings of different shapes and sizes. Sometimes even the thickness and the shape of the band itself can make all the difference!

Or marquise. Like others have said you have beautifully long fingers and a marquise would emphasis that
 
You don't have chubby fingers at all. They're nice and long.

On that note, I agree that an emerald cut would be perfect for your fingers. Nice and elongated.
