Best Answer

Because these two gems are different minerals and are valued differently, your question is akin to the question -- which is more expensive: apples or Oranges?

Generally, the highest quality diamond of the same carat weight as the highest quality sapphire, the diamond will be more expensive. However, this statement is not always true.
