“Jewelry is a very personal thing. It should tell a story about the person who’s wearing it.”
– Garance Daré

Choosing between a sparkling diamond or a white sapphire for an engagement ring has always been a question that young couples have. Both gemstones are absolutely gorgeous and durable, yet, they have quite a lot of qualities that set them apart. 

We have listed down points that will help you to choose which stone stands out and which is a better investment.

Diamond Vs White Sapphire – Look

There is a huge difference that one can observe when you look at the two stones. Even though both the stones are white/transparent in their color tone, there is a huge difference in the brilliance and fire when the light touches it.

Diamond vs White Sapphire Color Grading

White sapphires do not sparkle the same as diamonds! Diamonds’ high refractive index and dispersion lead their sparkle to form a rainbow with some white light added to it, whereas a white sapphire’s sparkle is silvery white-greyish in color.

Hardness and Durability

A diamond scores a 10/10 on the Mohs scale of hardness making it the hardest rock on the planet. It is said that diamonds can only be scratched by other diamonds. In comparison, White sapphires come close to being the second hardest stones. They rank 9/10 on the Mohs scale of hardness. Both these rocks are highly durable and resilient and can be used in jewelry worn on a daily basis.

Symbolism

Diamonds are known for their scintillating brilliance and fire in the stone. The hardest rock in the world is a symbolism of light, life, an emblem of purity and perfection, commitment, and faithfulness. 

Whereas, the magical white sapphire stone signifies power and strength, the power of kindness and wise judgment, clarity and self-mastery, protection, and good fortune.

Do you believe that buying a stone based on its symbolism is a good idea? 

Price 

Diamonds will always be diamonds! White sapphire has a huge advantage over diamonds as they are priced comparatively lower and are economical. For example, if the price per carat for a diamond is $5,000 the white sapphire would be $1,000 for the same size as the stone.

If you’re looking for a larger stone that is cost-effective, a white sapphire may be a good option. 

Diamond vs White Sapphire: Verdict

Diamonds and white sapphire both have an old romantic charm attached to them. Both have won our hearts as they are naturally beautiful. 

The verdict on which one is better? 

You are the best person to make that choice for yourself as per your style and budget. We are sure any gemstone would make you look like a million bucks.
