The world is full of similar-looking things having different qualities. In the world of gemstones, this fact goes for many similar-looking gemstones such as tanzanite and blue sapphire, ruby and pink sapphire. Likewise, there is diamond and there is white sapphire. If you have decided to go for a diamond ornament, then before investing your money, you should think over another available option which is a white sapphire. Let us find out what makes a white sapphire a better choice over a diamond.

1. Value for money:

There was a time when diamonds were considered the rarest gemstone; it was a different time when there was not much technical involvement in the process of mining. With the passing of time and technological innovations, now it becomes easier to find a natural diamond. Like many other gemstones, a diamond can also be created in the lab now. Considering this, diamond is a somewhat overpriced gemstone. White sapphire, on the other hand, is way less expensive and has a great potential to give you investment returns.

2. Durability and hardness:

If you compare the hardness and durability of both gemstones, you will not find great differences. White sapphire has a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale. This may sound much less than a diamond but let’s understand what it means. A diamond with a hardness of 10 on the Mohs scale can be scratched only by a diamond. Whereas a white sapphire with a hardness of 9 on the Mohs scale can only be scratched by a diamond or by a Moissanite. This is why you do not need to worry about the durability of a white sapphire ring.

3. Clarity and sparkle:

If your requirement is not for a funky gemstone, then a high-quality clear white sapphire will suit your requirement. Although a diamond ring that sparkles in different colors looks classy and rich. If your purpose is to buy a gemstone ring for daily wear, then a white sapphire ring can be the best choice.

4. Influences of the gemstone:

Sapphire is considered one of the most influential gemstones. Different shades of sapphire have different influences on the people who own these gems. White sapphire can be considered a gemstone for mental peace and increasing wealth. Some gemstone experts suggest wearing white sapphire for mood upliftment and to deal with depression. If we talk about a diamond it does not have any major positive influence on the person wearing it.

Overall, we can say that if you are looking for a simple ring with white gemstone, then a white sapphire ring can be a perfect choice for you. It looks simple, clear, and requires less care compared to a diamond. It will save you money. Who knows the positive influences of white sapphire will change your life and make you capable of buying other precious gemstones in the future.
