R0245 Silver Ring with Peridot 3 cts (8g)

A white sapphire is any gem-quality corundum that's colorless, or white. Red gem-quality corundum is considered ruby, while all non-red corundum is considered sapphire. White sapphires are completely colorless sapphires. A sapphire receives its color from the trace elements present within the earth when the crystal is forming. White sapphires are quite rare; they are completely untouched by trace elements. White sapphires are excellent alternatives to diamonds for engagement rings as they are less expensive and very durable.
