Welcome to my world of fine jewelry and gemology. I’m Adrianne Sanogo—a jewelry journalist, industry expert, and sought-after speaker with a passion for exploring the art and science behind every gem. As a distinguished Graduate Gemologist from the Gemological Institute of America (GIA), I’ve had the privilege of shaping global conversations around fine jewelry, ethics, and market trends through my work with esteemed publications such as Rapaport, Jewelry Connoisseur, Gems & Jewellery, and National Jeweler.

Over the years, I’ve headlined prestigious conferences, moderated insightful panels, and advised top-tier brands on emerging trends and consumer insights. My commitment to education and mentorship has also led me to co-found the Black in Jewelry Coalition (BIJC) and launch the Future Jewelers Academy, paving the way for the next generation of creative and innovative bench jewelers.

When I’m not immersed in the world of diamonds and design, I cherish the joy of family life as the proud mother of two daughters, one son, two rescued felines, and a rescued Chow Chow. I invite you to explore my site and join me on this exciting journey through the dazzling realms of gemology, journalism, and luxury jewelry.

My hobbies are hummingbirds, reading, and treasure hunting for unique, rare gems and jewelry.
