The World ofSOSNA Diamonds

MMXXVIPrague · Global

A curated house for certified natural gemstones and natural diamonds — sourced discreetly, verified independently, and presented to a small circle of collectors, ateliers, family offices and vetted US wholesale counterparties.

Independently verified by
  • GIA — gemological laboratory
  • SSEF — gemological laboratory
  • Gübelin — gemological laboratory
  • HRD Antwerp — gemological laboratory
  • IGI — gemological laboratory
Chapter IIManifesto

One standard. Nature only. Documented always.

SOSNA Diamonds exists to remove ambiguity from the acquisition of exceptional stones. We deal exclusively in natural gemstones and natural diamonds — never lab-grown, never treated beyond disclosed industry norms, never presented without an independent laboratory report from a recognised authority.

Every piece we release is chosen for what it is, not for what a market cycle rewards. We would rather present ten stones in a season than a hundred that pass a lesser bar.

  • INatural origin only — no lab-grown material.
  • IIIndependent laboratory report — GIA · SSEF · Gübelin · IGI · HRD.
  • IIIFull disclosure of any accepted treatment.
  • IVSourced by mandate, not by inventory pressure.

Chapter IVHeritage & Provenance

From the primary market to the private cabinet.

Our reach begins at the origin — the mines and primary cutters of Colombia, Mozambique, Sri Lanka, Madagascar, Myanmar, and Botswana — and is anchored by four house desks: Prague (Europe HQ), Miami (US wholesale, Florida), Dubai DMCC (Gulf & Asia treaty) and Bangkok JVC (coloured-stone lapidary). What arrives to our clients has already passed through cutters, graders and gemmologists we have known for years.

01

Origin

Direct relationships with primary cutters and lapidaries; auction acquisitions from estates and single-owner sales.

02

Verification

Every principal stone is submitted to — or arrives already accompanied by — a report from a Tier-1 gemmological laboratory.

03

Cabinet

The final selection reaches the client accompanied by full documentation, provenance narrative and, where relevant, historical context.

Chapter VThe Principal
Martin Sosna — Founder & Principal, SOSNA Diamonds
V— SOSNA, MMXXVI

One name is responsible for every stone that leaves the house.

Martin Sosna
Founder & Principal

The house is led by a single principal responsible for every mandate accepted, every stone released, and every client relationship. There are no sub-agents, no white-labelled desks and no anonymous intermediaries.

A decade and a half between the coloured-stone counters of Bangkok's JVC, the Gulf trading floors of Dubai's DMCC and the US wholesale market out of Florida shaped an approach that is deliberately narrow: fewer stones, fully documented, fully owned.

  • GIA-trained gemmologist
  • ICA member — International Coloured Gemstone Association
  • Rapaport RapNet authorised
  • Insured, bonded and audit-ready operations
Chapter VIHouse Standards

What we accept — and what we refuse.

Four rules that govern every stone we release. They are absolute.

I
Natural origin
Only naturally formed gemstones and diamonds. Lab-grown material is outside our scope and outside our value system.
II
Independent laboratory
GIA for diamonds and coloured stones; SSEF and Gübelin for coloured origin reports; IGI and HRD where appropriate.
III
Disclosed treatment
Any accepted industry treatment is disclosed on the report and on our documentation — nothing is implied.
IV
Documented provenance
Chain of custody from cutter or auction to our vault, from our vault to the client — insured, sealed and recorded.
VII
Ten stones a season, chosen over a hundred that pass a lesser bar.
Chapter VIIIGlobal Network

Chapter XWhom We Serve

A small circle, addressed personally.

We do not scale by adding clients. We scale by deepening service to those already inside the house.

Private Collectors

Individuals building a considered, multi-decade cabinet of coloured stones and diamonds.

Family Offices

Advisors and principals holding tangible assets alongside financial portfolios — with full documentation.

Ateliers & Houses

Independent jewellers and maisons that require a discreet, reliable supply of principal stones.

US Wholesale

Vetted trade counterparties in the United States acquiring principal stones for their own clientele.

Chapter XIThe US Desk

Built for the United States wholesale market.

A dedicated US desk based in Florida for vetted US trade counterparties — retailers, ateliers, designers and appraisers. Terms familiar to the American trade, execution familiar to the European maison.

Hand-carry cities
  • Miami (base)
  • JCK Las Vegas
  • AGTA Tucson
  • Couture

US Wholesale is a trade-only channel. Retail collectors are served through the Private Advisor.

  • I

  • Show presence

    Attending select US industry weeks — JCK Las Vegas, AGTA Tucson, Couture. Private preview by appointment.

Chapter XIIDiscretion

Confidentiality is a service, not a slogan.

Every mandate — sourcing, sale, acquisition — is handled under a strict internal protocol. Nothing is discussed outside a defined circle.

Named principals only

No sub-agents. You speak with the same person from first contact to final release.

Written mandates

Every engagement is defined in a written brief — scope, budget, timeframe, exit.

Sealed logistics

Insured, sealed transport through vetted couriers; hand-carry available in-region.

No public inventory disclosure

Stones released to a client are removed from any presentation surface immediately.

Chapter 13Recognition

Where the house is known.

A short list of channels where our work, our people or our stones have been referenced. We do not chase press — we do not decline it either.

As referenced in
  • Rapaport
  • JCK Magazine
  • National Jeweler
  • GemGuide
  • The Jewellery Editor
Memberships & standards
  • ICA — International Coloured Gemstone Association
  • AGTA — American Gem Trade Association
  • RapNet authorised member
  • Responsible Jewellery Council — application in progress

Logos and citations are added only once written permission is on file. Placeholders shown pending confirmation.

Chapter 14Responsible Sourcing

Provenance is not a marketing line.

We work only with cutters, lapidaries and auction channels whose chain of custody we can articulate. Where a jurisdiction or a source cannot be documented to our standard, we decline the material — regardless of price or availability.

This is why our inventory is deliberately narrow and why our lead times are honest. A stone we cannot describe with full confidence is a stone we do not offer.

We accept
  • Documented primary-market rough with named cutter
  • Auction acquisitions with full provenance file
  • Estate stones with legacy paperwork and, where required, re-certification
  • Kimberley Process compliant rough diamonds
We refuse
  • Any lab-grown or synthetic material
  • Undisclosed treatments beyond industry-accepted norms
  • Material from jurisdictions we cannot document
  • Any stone whose chain of custody is broken or ambiguous

SOSNA Diamonds is not a financial adviser. Gemstones and diamonds are not offered as investment products with guaranteed return; any reference to store-of-value language reflects long-term market recognition of certified natural material — never a promise of appreciation.
