What is the difference between a black diamond and a black sapphire?
The difference between a black diamond and a black sapphire is that the two are different gemstones. A black diamond consists of carbon converted to a crystalline solid through changes driven by pressure and temperature. A black sapphire is a type of corundum, an aluminum oxide mineral. Generally, black diamonds are harder, rarer and more expensive than black sapphires. On 1stDibs, shop an assortment of black diamond and sapphire jewelry.
