Some of us are aware of the answer, whereas others are not. If you’re still not sure which one to choose, take a look at this quick comparison table.

SAPPHIRE

  2. HardnessBecause of its hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale, it is extremely durable and long-lasting.

  7. PopularitySapphires, particularly blue sapphires, have long been associated with royalty and opulence, which is one of the primary reasons for this association. One of the primary reasons for this is the association with royalty and opulence.

DIAMOND

No other gemstone can compete with diamonds in terms of long-term durability. The sapphire, on the other hand, is a close second in terms of popularity. This means that you won’t have to be concerned about chips or scratches regardless of which jewel you choose. Diamonds are more expensive than other gemstones because they are more difficult to obtain. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money but still want a colorless/white diamond, VS1 or VS2 Very Slightly Included (VS) diamonds may be a good option.

When compared to diamonds, sapphires are significantly heavier in weight (density). The size of the diamond will appear smaller when compared to a one-carat diamond. It is not uncommon for the value of a gem to skyrocket when it reaches 4 carats in weight. Opting for a sapphire in the 1 to 2 carat range is a wonderful way to appreciate the stone’s extraordinary aesthetic appeal.

You can use these pieces as a Mother’s Day gift or an engagement gift for your fiancée, depending on your needs and budget! Blue and pink sapphires are excellent choices for adding a splash of color to a piece. Only the dazzling brilliance and unending sparkle of a diamond, on the other hand, will do for the rest of time. Make it a point to always check the certificate of authenticity, regardless of which product you purchase.

Nissan, David and his team were extremely accommodating, understanding and patient with our purchase. They took the upmost care to find the best solution for our needs and went above and beyond normal ‘customer service’ standards. I have absolutely no qualms recommending their products and services. Both were absolutely flawless. I will continue to sing them praises and will most definitely purchase from them again in the future. Thank you again!

Bought a beautiful stone here for an engagement ring. I was a little apprehensive since you’re buying something unseen. But Cid made it easy. In fact, Nissan, the owner also gave a call to make me more comfortable. They sent me the stone to take to a local jeweler with only my Amex in case I bailed on them.
