Whenever I play Sona, I have a full build consisting of these four items before all else:

FrostQueen's Claim: I build this because poke is her specialty and the gold income can help her get ahead in lane. It also has a handy active that is useful in chase and escapes.

Athene's Unholy Grail: While Sona ahas pretty nice regen rates, she still burns through her mana incredibly fast in fights. Athene's gives AP, MR, CDR, and regen + mana font. Which means I can cast to my hearts' content. This is always my second item as I use Celerity frequently.

Iceborn Gauntlet: This grants her some physical tank, access to sheen without foregoing any tank, a built in slow which has excellent synergy with FQC. IT has CDR, mana, and some AP.

Then Merc Treads: These are useful as a sona who gets focused by cc is useless. Tenacity is essential to her survival and can turn an escape into sona potentially killing her chaser.

Of Course there is Sightstone because health and sight.

Finally my last Item, Solari: This has a great aura which she and her teamates love because it makes everyone that much harder to kill and has a good shielding active that synergizes with her own heal. IT also makes her even tankier and honestly is probably one of my favourite Sona items.
