Metaphor. :)
If you said, "Her eyes were like sapphires," then that would be a simile, because you are comparing her eyes with sapphires using like or as. An example with using as to make a simile would be, "Her eyes were as beautiful assapphires."
With metaphors, you kind of "silently" compare two things, because you don't like or as. Instead, you use is, are, or were to say that her eyes are literally sapphires, but aren't really.
Hope that helped. :)
