We got these two sapphire gems a week or so ago and were told they are both female. I’m pretty skeptical though.. any thoughts?

So, you cannot wing sex chicks unless a hybrid chicken is bred specifically for it. But good news!
Sapphire gems are actually a cross made specially to be sexable by color as chicks. The males have a white dot on their head and grow up to be barred (vaguely striped with white/light gray). The females are a solid gray.
This means you have two girls!
Sorry. Just looked closer. Second one has the dot on the head and barred wings. That's a boy.
 
Does the second have a dot too?
Won't be a bold or clear one but if there's white on the top of its head, that's another boy.
