Esteemed Fine Jewelry Designer, Mish Tworkowski, has announced an exclusive online charity fundraiser and auction to benefit Cheekwood Estate & Gardens.
The sale will kick off on Dec. 1st and run through Dec. 10th on Bidsquare, with an offering of 28 extraordinary one-of-a-kind and limited-edition Mish creations. A generous portion of the proceeds raised will benefit the historic museum and beloved botanical gardens.
Simultaneously, an iconic brooch from the jeweler's collection will be auctioned off with 100% of the proceeds going to the non-profit's educational institution. Mish has a long-standing relationship with the museum and gardens as an avid patron of the Swan Ball, one of the premier charity events in the United States that benefits Cheekwood.

“The Swan Ball and Cheekwood Estate & Gardens have benefited from the generosity of fine jewelry designer Mish Tworkowski for many years. He is an avid supporter of the arts and has been a Swan Ball Jeweler as well as an underwriter of the Antiques & Gardens Show, which also benefits Cheekwood. We are grateful to present his extraordinary collection in this upcoming online benefit,” says Mary Catherine McClellan, Co-Chair of the 2021 Swan Ball.
The Swan Ball auction team and Mish consulted with the prominent Fine Art Auction House, Brunk Auctions, in developing this unique online charity benefit.
“This collaboration is a silver lining that has emerged as we all try and pivot to new ways of doing business and serving our communities,” says Lauren Brunk, Senior Vice President at Brunk Auctions. “The organizers of the Swan Ball, Mish, and Brunk Auctions have come together with a generosity of spirit and determination to support the Cheekwood museum and gardens.
Twenty-eight one-of-a-kind and limited-edition creations have been assembled for this exclusive online charity fundraiser. Each represents Mish’s incredible designs and workmanship, and this collection is a reflection of his personal passion for gardens and his enthusiasm for color.
“I am delighted to present a very special collection of jewelry to benefit Cheekwood Estate & Gardens and help in their mission to preserve Cheekwood as a historical landmark where beauty and excellence in art and horticulture stimulate the mind and nurture the spirit,” said Mish Tworkowski, founder and designer of his eponymous brand.
