As per law, only inventions can be patented. The difference between idea and invention is very similar because all inventions are ideas before they are patentable inventions. In order to get a patent, the invention needs to be novel, industrially useful and non-obvious to a person skilled in the art.
Intellectual Property Offices generally do not require you to have a prototype in order to apply for a patent, all that is required is that you be able to describe the invention so that others could make and use it. So, while you do need to have some kind of identifiable manifestation, you can start by proving your concept on paper.
Unique visual qualities of a manufactured item, or if a product has a distinct configuration, distinct surface ornamentation or both, could be protected by filing a design patent application. For example, ornamental designs of products/items such as jewelry, furniture, drinking containers and computer icons, could be protected by filing design patent applications.
