Sapphires are rare aristocratic Gems used to see the future. In addition to their abilities as prophets, they have ice powers and can levitate. All known Sapphires have been voiced by Erica Luttrell.
Role[]
- Main article: Caste System#Sapphires
Sapphires were high ranking Gems. Several Sapphires attended the Era 3 Ball. Sapphires were also commonly flanked by several Ruby guards.
Primarily, Sapphires use their future vision to assure other Gems of the future's certainty, since they can only see one possible future.
Physical Characteristics []
Sapphires are short Gems with round faces and one singular eye. Sapphires all wear ballgowns with poofy sleeves and elbow length gloves, although the additional details on their gowns can vary between them. Sapphires can have many different hairstyles, but one common feature is that they all have their eye covered by their hair regardless of what way it is styled.
While mostly shown in shades of blue, different colored Sapphires can exist, with orange Sapphires (Padparadschas) being noted by Garnet as especially rare.
Main Sapphires[]
- Sapphire - A Sapphire that once served Blue Diamond but now remains fused with Ruby as Garnet, a current member of the Crystal Gems.
- Padparadscha - A Sapphire who was cast aside for being defective and became a member of the Off Colors.

Trivia[]
- Sapphires being seen as intelligent Gems may be a reference to real life sapphires, which are associated with smarts and intellect.
- In reality sapphires and rubies are extremely similar gemstones, both being varieties of corundum, however in the show they are portrayed as very different, both in class and appearance.
