mish Tworkowski loves Palm Beach. The jeweler is a sponsor of the Palm Beach Preservation Foundation and recently bought a house in town with his partner, Joseph Singer. “The whole place inspires me,” Tworkowski says. The city also sparked his latest collection of breezily elegant goods that dress up or down with ease. There are large-scale gold starfish earrings delicately limned with diamonds; simpler scallop shells with diamond-studded French hooks; a jingly charm bracelet dangling with sparkling pendants. All are meant to be mixed at a whim: “The world is so casual these days,” he says. “It’s more sophisticated not to be matchy-matchy. Modern women don’t want a full parure.” mishnewyork.com.…

shellwork can trace its roots to ancient Greece, where grottoes decorated with the stuff were constructed as shrines to the Muses; the Romans built shell-clad nymphaeums throughout their empire. Flash-forward to the Renaissance: Grottoes resurfaced, along with much else from the classical world. It’s been a series of revivals ever since, especially during the 18th century, when Europeans returning from the Grand Tour spread a rage for shellwork across the Continent. Notable examples exist at estates like Frederick the Great’s New Palace in Germany and the Château de Rambouillet in France. Modern iterations mine that oceanic allure while upping the style ante: See Sarah Ramsey and Claire Ratliff’s recent showstopping powder room for a client in Palm Beach. With a diamond pattern rendered in shells by artisan Thomas Boog, the…

WHEN BUNNY WILLIAMS’S CLIENTS asked her to decorate a 15-year-old Mediterranean Revival house in Palm Beach, the three of them agreed that the house—whose style harks back to the 1920s designs of local starchitect Addison Mizner—should “look settled, like it had always been there.” The retired couple already had one grandchild and hoped for more. With this in mind, they asked the original architect, Jeffery W. Smith, to add a wing while redoing the pool and landscaping. Williams’s job was to provide that forever look, but one that was by no means dusty or dated. To that end, she bought lots of 18th-century Italian antiques, which were well suited to the vernacular, and then she brought the space into the 21st century by incorporating a range of current pieces. In…

IN A TOWN KNOWN FOR FABULOUS HOUSES, the “ham-and-cheese house,” as it is affectionately called by Palm Beach denizens, is among the most well known. So named because of its exterior bands of red brick and coral stone, the 1928 manse overlooking the ocean was designed by Maurice Fatio, the legendary architect to Rockefellers and Vanderbilts whose opulent homes inspired Cole Porter to quip: “I want to live on Maurice Fatio’s patio.” Originally called Casa Eleda, the elaborate Italian Romanesque–style house was designed for banker Mortimer Schiff and his wife, Adele (Eleda is Adele backward). When a Connecticut couple bought it, they asked Susan Zises Green, their New York–based interior designer of 30-plus years, for an update; she had also decorated their main residence and a previous Palm Beach home.…

There’s such love and care taken with each piece.” bonacina1889.it.…

PALM BEACHERS LIVE SURROUNDED by beauty. In this Florida paradise, one can stroll along streets lined in Andalusian tile, admire omnipresent cascades of flowering pink bougainvillea, and motor along an oceanfront boulevard lined with movie set–worthy mansions. But even here, Lars Bolander’s delightful home stands out. The lanky, Swedish-born Bolander is a world-renowned antiques dealer and interior designer with showrooms and shops in West Palm Beach and Manhattan. He is known for his warmth and charm, and his Parisian-born artist wife, Nadine Kalachnikoff, is every bit his match. The couple designed and built their house in West Palm Beach a little more than a decade ago. They named it Bamboo Hill and planted the garden with bamboo, like they’d seen in Bali. But while the garden thrived, the bamboo never…
