“This feels like a natural evolution,” said David Primak, COO of Sasha Primak. “We’ve worked behind the scenes with Ada Diamonds for years. Now we will be able to enhance the Ada customer experience through faster custom turnaround times, expanded product offerings and an immersive, behind-the-scenes look at the master artisans who will be handcrafting their jewelry.”
The acquisition is intended to integrate Ada Diamonds’ operations with Sasha Primak’s design and fabrication capabilities.

The acquisition follows the medical retirement of Ada Diamonds’ co-founders, Jason Payne and Lindsay Reinsmith. According to the release:
“This deal follows the medical retirement of Ada Diamonds’ co-founders, Jason Payne and Lindsay Reinsmith, who sought a partner that would uphold the brand’s dedication to integrity, artistry and client service.”
