White Sapphire Vs Diamond - Side by Side Comparison 

I am grateful that you mentioned the saphire was badly cut, could you please make a video with a well cut saphire and compare it?

Notice how the right ring has more embellishment on the side, while the left is just plain. I think the white sapphire is beautiful!

Weak video! Obviously bias towards diamond with that horrible band holding the sapphire.

Apparently, no stone ever can be cut as well as a diamond! (Sarcasm)

Just what I was looking for to go ahead with my decision for white sapphire. Looks great and $900 for 1 carat stone?? Yeah I’ll take that over diamond prices all day 😂

For anyone watching this, while BOTH rings are beautiful, the white sapphire is JUST as beautiful as the diamond and for a fraction of the cost. If you can afford a diamond and WANT a diamond then by all means...do you. I would wear either of those rings proudly, you just have to put more care into keepin sapphire clean, but so what? also to note a diamond is a 10 and a sapphire is a 9 in terms of hardness, not a HUGE decrease.

This is just like the moissanite video... you took a poorly cut sapphire to an ideal cut diamond... of course it won’t have the same fire & brilliance! I have all 3 stones set on different rings and all three are beautiful and incredibly durable. The moissanite gets the most compliments out of all 3 bc it has more sparkle. Even when dirty. The difference I can see other than the amount if sparkle, is that the moissanite has a bit more of a rainbow sparkle due to it being doubly refractive.

I bought a white sapphire ring for my mom. She loves it. It's beautiful:)

the sapphire was as beautiful as the diamond, even though it was “poorly cut”. diamonds are overrated.

This video only confirms my decision to buy a white sapphire. I have always been a "diamond person" for years and years; but after discovering the beauty of sapphires, I've become hooked on them instead. I can own 5 sapphire rings compared to the cost of 1 diamond ring.... rip off? I say yes.

You forgot to mention: one c of sapphire = 250-600. 1 c of a well cut, good quality diamond as seen on this video = possibly over 10,000!

this sapphire was cut badly. biased.

I honestly liked the sapphire more in the first lighting -- it had more character. The difference in sparkle in the sunlight is pretty subtle.

I love this video. Simple. No talking. Just watching.

Guess I don't have a trained eye, but I didn't see a difference in sparkle

the gemstone market is all about deceitfulness to get the consumer to spend the most amount of money possible. There is very little difference between these two stones and a moissanite. People need to stop calling it a diamond engagement ring, and just call it an engagement ring. A colorless stone is a colorless stone. The true mark of quality is in the manufacturing process. Otherwise, it's just a stone. Diamonds are a rock. Sapphires are a rock. Moissanite is a rock. Under a VERY specific lighting and staring at it for minutes on end, you might notice the difference. You might also guess right or wrong. The only thing that matters is how good it looks. Women who think their engagement rings NEED to be diamonds are full of it. Nobody can afford a beautiful diamond. If you really want a diamond ring, you'll probably end up with a poor quality one because that's all Bob Cratchet could afford. But say no to Moissanite, because it's not "traditional." A tradition created by a greedy salesman in the 1930s. People need to get a reality check. Weddings are unaffordable. Get a moissanite. Lie to your wife about it if you have to, because she will not be able to tell the difference. Then have a small wedding with people that actually matter. Go on a honeymoon with the money you didn't spend on a ludicrous wedding and rock sized at less than half an inch diameter. Don't progress bad traditions. Keep the good parts and toss the parts that are trash.

Thumbs down for being biased towards the real diamond and its prettier band. And that office lighting sure looked very fake to me. Please tell us--what were the approx. carats of these two stones? And also, what kind of camera did you use to film this video? Makes a difference to me, and I'd like to know. Thank you. Awaiting your reply..........

Meh... the diamond's refraction is a heavy hitter but... the sapphire is a tiny tiny bit under par with the diamond. I don't see how the diamond could be more valuable for not giving an astonishingly more visual display. Moissanite on the other hand blows the both away. Although I myself am liking the way the refraction of a diamond hits you like a flash camera, the moissanites don't flash as hard, but the sparkle is more rainbow and you can admire the colors more. I'm kinda in between on those two aspects. When you throw in cost though... idk if the diamond is worth it for the $$. A diamond looses 50% of it's vaule after you purchase. They're marketing scams.

The sapphire looks awesome! :)

So...another excuse to overspend on a shiny rock.

Diamonds are very beautiful but very expensive. I can't afford one right now though so I have been trying to find an alternative. I tried lab white sapphire, cubic zirconia and moissanite and ended up returning them all because they just don't compare. They look pretty in photos but look super cheap on my finger. I ended up buying a very affordable light blue sapphire that I love...it is sparkly and pretty and doesn't look like I am trying to pass it off as a diamond. .,..

Can you compare old cut sapphire vs old cut diamonds? thank you! difficult to know what you are buying...

I have a white sapphire 3 carat engagement ring (30 yr anniversary gift). I also still have my original 1/2 carat engagement ring. I love the white sapphire better because it’s a lot more shine than the original one. I plan on giving the original one to my son IF he ever finds a young lady to settle down with.

Diamonds are worthless. They are one of the most commonly occurring materials. Not sure why everyone is so obsessed with them. It's a perfect metaphor for a society that entirely values shine over substance I guess.

Can Saphire actually lose his shine and sparkle due to sun or water or something ?

Wow the sapphire is beautiful

I chose a 2 carat cushion cut pastel lavender sapphire ring from EidelPrecious on etsy. It's so beautiful, it's my favorite color and the setting is perfect, antique and with character. It's PLENTY sparkly, I really call BS on this "diamonds are more sparkly" thing. I did choose a sapphire over an amethyst to get the extra sparkle. But I would say for sapphire vs diamond, the sparkle difference is negligible, and they both have the same "watery" depth vs moissanite which is "whiter" and throws rainbow sparkles and looks more "synthetic" to my eye. Moissanite is almost too sparkly, which proves that sparkle isn't everything. Plus with sapphire you can get a BIGGER ring which is going to be more sparkly just by increased surface area. Biased video lol sapphires are not inherently poorly cut and hazy isn't bad if you wanted a colored stone anyway. Purple diamonds are extremely rare, and the few light purples are like extremely expensive, many tens of thousands to even hundred thousand dollars. Now pastel purple sapphires...beautiful, sparkly and no more hazy than a purple diamond anyway and more affordable so you can actually afford a gem 10x bigger

The white sapphire have value?

How much

the stones are not cut identically. You can tell by looking at them when the face is at the camera. The cut of a stone makes a HUGE difference in the sparkle, a much bigger difference that almost any other factor. What I'd like to see is a well cut white sapphire vs the same cut in a diamond. These 2 cuts are not the same quality of cut.

Would love to see White Zircon compared to a Diamind

I dont know, diamond is beautiful of cours BUT so is sapphire to me. Di would say diamomd is sparkly but sapphire is like a looking at a crystal clear,pure, deep lake, it reflects purity..❤

That sapphire is nice not as cloudy as I thought it would be

Not sure about the quality of ether stone. But I have two stones like these and it is true that the sapphire looks darker and kind of hollow in the middle in comparison to the diamond, which has the same amount of light and fire distribution all throughout

Great communication 😳😳😳😳

a little yellow tint isn't a white sapphire !!! right?

White Sapphire is much clearer. I like it better

Hi

Is it too "cheap" to buy my gf a white sapphire ring instead of a diamond?

Wonderful:)

yea how about they're both cut the same, and the same setting. Sapphires have great brilliance on their own..

Diamond

Is this even an AAA white sapphire?

😍😍

I bought a "tennis" bracelet at the flea market, it says roman at the clasp. The metal has a green tint in the corners. But easily cleaned. I took it to this jeweler at the same market I bought. She told me she didn't know the metal, and she looked at the diamonds, and told me they were white sapphire (she sold mainly the rocks, so people could custom design/make they're own jewelry, they would buy the rocks from her). It has atleast over 20 rocks. Idk, think I'll take it to pawn shop and see what it actually is...

Poor cut sapphire. Plain ring with a funnel for the setting. No wonder it was casting darker...

A video comparing a poorly-cut stone to a well-cut stone isn't a video comparing stones. Waste of everyone's time, including yours filming this, UNLESS you had an agenda. Which you did. You should be ashamed.

U can't tell on video senorita

VS Diamond or VSS

I admit I have some sort of "commitment issue" when it comes to my engagement rings. I like variety depending on my mood! And so I really like white sapphires for that reasons because they are so inexpensive and look classy and nice. But I admit white sapphire doesn't have the wow-factor that diamonds have. I also think moissanite looks fake and the fire looks more flashy and less depth than a real diamond.

Someone stole my Mom's jewelry when she died. It is very questionable but my Dad stated this. The thing I love about this, if it's stolen, is that I bought my Mom a White Sapphire ring (that looked expensive and about 3 carots). Well, the theif obviously thought it was expensive. hehe Sorry, not sorry! I don't have the $ for that, sucka.

You can pretty easily identify the defensive sapphire owners in the chat. There is a time and place for sapphires but they aren’t diamonds.
