But two diamonds of equal weight can have very different values depending on the other members of the Four C’s: clarity, color and cut. The majority of diamonds used in fine jewelry weigh one carat or less. Watch this video from GIA, developer of the 4C’s.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Sapphire is a <a title="Gemstone" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemstone">gemstone</a> variety of the mineral <a title="Corundum" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Corundum">corundum</a>, an <a title="Aluminium oxide" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium_oxide">aluminium oxide</a> (α-<a title="Aluminium" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aluminium">Al</a><sub>2</sub><a title="Oxygen" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxygen">O</a><sub>3</sub>), when it is a color other than red or dark pink, in which case the gem would instead be called a <a title="Ruby" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ruby">ruby</a>, considered to be a different <a title="Gemstone" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gemstone">gemstone</a>. Trace amounts of other elements such as <a title="Iron" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron">iron</a>, <a title="Titanium" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Titanium">titanium</a>, or <a title="Chromium" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chromium">chromium</a> can give corundum blue, yellow, pink, purple, orange, or greenish color. Pink-orange sapphires are also called <strong>padparadscha</strong>. Pure chromium is the distinct impurity of rubies. However, a combination of e.g. chromium and titanium can give a sapphire of a color distinct from red.</p>
<p>Sapphires are commonly worn as <a title="Jewellery" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jewellery">jewellery</a>. Sapphires can be found naturally, by searching through certain <a title="Sediment" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sediment">sediments</a> or rock formations, or they can be manufactured for industrial or decorative purposes in large crystal <a title="Boule (crystal)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boule_(crystal)">boules</a>. Because of the remarkable <a title="Hardness" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hardness">hardness</a> of sapphires (and of aluminum oxide in general), sapphires are used in some non-<a title="Ornament" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ornament">ornamental</a> applications, including <a title="Infrared" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Infrared">infrared</a><a title="Optics" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optics">optical</a> components, such as in <a title="Scientific instrument" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_instrument">scientific instruments</a>; small, high-durability <a title="Window" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Window">windows</a> (also used in scientific instruments); <a title="Watch" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watch">wristwatch</a> crystals; and very thin <a title="Wafer (electronics)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wafer_(electronics)">electronic wafers</a>, which are used as the <a title="Insulator (electrical)" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulator_(electrical)">insulating</a> <a title="Substrate" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Substrate">substrates</a> of very special-purpose <a title="Solid-state electronics" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solid-state_electronics">solid-state electronics</a> (most of which are <a title="Integrated circuit" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_circuit">integrated circuits</a>).</p>
