Clara Diamond Solutions is a technology-driven company that modernizes the rough diamond supply chain through its digital marketplace. Founded in 2018 by Ophir Stolov and Aaron Ariel, Clara connects buyers and sellers of rough diamonds on a stone-by-stone basis, enhancing traditional diamond sales with proprietary analytics, cloud computing, and blockchain technology.

The company addresses inefficiencies in the diamond industry by replacing bulk sales with demand-driven transactions. Its platform allows manufacturers to purchase individual rough diamonds tailored to their specific needs, optimizing profitability and reducing waste. Clara hosts biweekly sales of rough diamonds and utilizes a proprietary matching algorithm to connect stones with manufacturers’ orders. The partnership with Sarine Technologies enables the digitization of rough diamonds, providing 3D models and quality assessments for virtual inspection. Additionally, blockchain integration enhances traceability and provenance in transactions, ensuring transparency across the supply chain.
