Comparison of White Sapphire and Diamonds
White sapphires that are similar to diamonds but cost less, are a great alternative to the costly and beautiful diamonds. Even if you leave out the prestige aspect, since diamonds are undoubtedly tied to status and high-end, there are still many distinctions between a sapphire and a diamond. White sapphires lack the sparkle and brilliance that only a best friend of a girl will display. This shouldn't come as a surprise since it's this brilliance that makes diamonds famous and costly. But when you examine the two stones side-by side, you realize how much of an impact the brilliance and gleam of a diamond can create. It is then apparent that the clear, bright white sapphire looks dull compared to the sparkling diamond. Despite the difference in brilliance diamonds and sapphires seem remarkably similar to the untrained eye. If you don't care about brilliance and you are more concerned about the size and cost rather than brilliance, a white sapphire could be the perfect option for you. Owning an unconventional gemstone regardless of whether it's an engagement ring or other jewelry piece creates a unique aura and appeal.
