I can see several possibilities:
 * Ruby and Sapphire both have gauntlets. Garnet combines them together to create bigger gauntlets.
 * Gems create their own personal weapons when they learn weapon summoning. Ruby and Sapphire aren't supposed to be warrior Gems, and didn't learn to summon weapons until after they became Garnet.
 * Sapphire is one of those gems who has something else instead of a regular weapon. Sort of like how Lapis Lazuli has wings and water control powers. Sapphire might have future vision or ice powers instead of a weapon.
 * Sapphire has a regular weapon, but for some reason Garnet prefers to use Ruby's weapon. (Maybe it's something dangerous. Maybe it's a rocket launcher, grenades or a Peridot-style arm cannon that she only combines with her gauntlets when she's about to launch her rocket punch attack.)
