Do sapphires sparkle like diamonds?

Sapphires will shine when polished well, compared to diamonds that will have natural sparkle. If brilliance is what you are looking for a diamond will sparkle better than a colorless sapphire. Diamonds reflect an array of light compared to colorless sapphires which will reflect more light gray colors.
