Jewelry designer Mish Tworkowski has a deep love of horticulture, and that passion has long been a driving force in his work. An avid gardener in both tropical and temperate climates, he is constantly inspired by the flowers he grows. Tworkowski is also a dedicated garden supporter and sits on the board of the New York Botanical Garden, where he chairs the annual rare plant sale. In addition, he is a Trustee of the Preservation Foundation of Palm Beach, which safeguards the town to which he moved his studio almost five years ago. The designer is also actively involved with the local Mounts Botanical Garden in West Palm Beach.

Consequently, it is unsurprising that Tworkowski’s latest collection is inspired by both classic garden flowers and tropical flora. Orchids, poppies, zinnias, pansies, camellias, hibiscus, marigolds and more make up this jeweled bouquet. All are set in 18k gold, with diamond pavé or baroque pearls, and have articulated and undulating layers of textured petals that vividly demonstrate the craftsmanship that goes into creating each piece.
