The sapphire is a type of gemstone, and is not a diamond. Although both are minerals, sapphires are made up of a variety of corundum, while diamonds are made of carbon. Both gems are beloved by many for their distinctive beauty. Diamonds are commonly known for their glacial sparkle, while sapphires are famed for their rich, velvety shade of blue, and both form in a wide array of colours. They’re both incredibly versatile, able to pair well with a wide range of metals, and are absolutely stunning when combined together in a sapphire engagement ring, sapphire necklace or sapphire earrings.
