Carved Quartz Tower by Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof

This diminutive tower was crafted by the famed jeweler and sculptor Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof, a man commonly regarded as America’s Fabergé for his playful sculptures formed from gemstones. The dexterous artist has created a highly detailed design in a small area; finely carved down to the smallest detail, the tower displays perfectly aligned stonework.

The Canadian-born sculptor Baron Andreas von Zadora-Gerlof is recognized as the world’s leading gemstone artist, and his international clientele includes the world’s most discerning connoisseurs. His pieces, which range from intricate objets d’art such as these to innovative bespoke jewelry and sculpture, are regarded as the most prized decorative artworks of modern time.
