![]() I got a lab white sapphire once for the purpose of getting an unusual cut that is not good in a small size and according to the vendor takes 3x rough. It does not twinkle and there is next to no fire. No disrespect to anyone else but I am not a fan of white sapphire. If you want a diamond and are on a budget, get lab instead of earth. If not, how would you describe the appearance thanks for posting your white sapphire.įor anyone reading the thread in the future… Agree that there is no substitute for diamond. If the two stones were cut to the angles that took into account their different IR with the goal of identical face up appearance would they then look identical face up in a still pic? so cutting them identically would result in a different look in a still picture. IIRC, IR determines the amount of change of direction a light ray experiences when it enters, exits or, when traveling IN the stone and bounces off a facet inside the material. I would guess no because of the two materials' different indexes of refraction. If a diamond and a sapphire were of identical diameter, weight, clarity, dimensions and cut pattern would they look identical side by side in a still photo? If so I do notice much more contrast in the diamond (perhaps that's the result of cutting angles not IR) but perhaps someone like could answer a question or two. You didn't state which is which, but I do see more color in the lower one.Īm I therefore correct assuming the lower one is the diamond? Ask our PriceScope members and industry experts for a second opinion or get lost in the thousands of user-shared diamond and jewelry images for inspiration.
