Every element of this falcon has been crafted for permanence and precision. The luminous body is carved entirely from a single-crystal Brazilian citrine, allowing light to refract beautifully through the deep texture of the feathers. The sculpture is elevated with precious metal and gemstones:
The eyes are set with deep blue Indian sapphires.
The powerful beak and finely detailed claws are rendered in solid 18k yellow gold.
This piece belongs to Dobranski’s ongoing series dedicated to avian forms, exploring the character, movement, and precision achievable in high-end gemstone carving.
A defining piece of the exclusive Pavilion+Crown Collection in Gstaad, this Citrine Falcon is the most ambitious work to date by celebrated Canadian gem carver, Christopher Dobranski.
Executed from a single, flawless Brazilian citrine crystal, this objet d’art stands as a contemporary icon in the tradition of European gemstone carving. With over 700 hours of meticulous work, this sculpture is a testament to the artist’s uncompromising vision and exceptional control of volume and detail.
