The surprise of what is possible
to create from a single,
thin thread.
About Me
Valentina’s work plays around the surprise of what is possible to make with a simple and thin line: a thread.
Coming from a family with a strong feminine tailoring tradition, she wanted to bring this passionate root into her jewellery world, finding new ways of working with textiles.
Her approach is both experimental and traditional: she likes to combine contemporary methods with ancient techniques, like Filigree.
The Filigree is one of the most beautiful and ancient goldsmith techniques ever, spread in many parts in the world, acquiring particular and specific characteristics in every place.
The Italian Filigree includes a rich and articulate series of shapes in which an ultra-thin thread, pure in general, is woven with handmade pliers on a dark tile.
The Brand
FLOEMA is a new jewelry brand all handmade by Valentina Caprini, goldsmith and artist based in Florence.
The name FLOEMA is inspired by the vascular tissue of the plants, which brings the lifeblood from the roots to the branches and makes flowers and fruits bloom.
Each FLOEMA piece is elegant and unique, created with a refined goldsmith’s technique in a small laboratory equipped with machines dated to the beginning of the ‘900.
Like the lifeblood makes the plant evolve, so FLOEMA gives part of its income to PLAN INTERNATIONAL, a charity that works hard to eliminate the child brides phenomenon.
Jewelry Care
All FLOEMA jewels are exclusively realized using precious metals: 925 silver (pure for the Filigree) and 18kt gold. All metals are subjected to a natural oxidation process, that depends either on natural factors like oxygen in the air, the salt in the sea, sunlight, skin PH, or on chemical factors, like creams and perfumes.
To make your piece return to its original condition:
Gold is slightly subjected to the oxidation process. To make
your jewel shine again put your jewels in a solution of half
cup of white vinegar and salt for at least 30 minutes.
With
a white cotton soft cloth dipped in the solution first brush
your piece and then rinse it with plenty of water, and voila!
To take the oxidation off silver you have to use one
ingredient only: bicarbonate.
Pour 250ml of lukewarm
water and 5 spoons of bicarbonate in a container. Mixed until
it is melted. Leave your silver jewels in the solution over
the night, then brush them with a toothbrush until they shine
again. Finally, rinse and dry with soft cloth.
Sustainability
FLOEMA engages in its own small way to choose green solutions as much as possible.
You will receive each piece in a handmade box realized by
Florentine typography using eco-friendly paper (made by 90% of
pure cellulose and 10% by cotton fibers), in a recycled and
100% recyclable parcel.
The business cards are realized
with recycled cotton fiber cardboard.
All the pieces are created in a small laboratory in the Florentine countryside, preferring using green materials and recycling precious materials.
The oval shape represents perfection, balance, and elegance.
It
is enriched by exquisite filigree workmanship, as well as by
a
small sphere made of precious metal in the center.
The fluid movement of the elements of this collection
joins
the soft shapes of the filigree, that looks as if floating
in
the structures. The repetition of the waves creates large
but
incredibly light earrings.
Every single piece of this collection is created hand-
weaving
several precious threads. Some of the
twines contain precious
and colorful stones.
The organic structure of the Vita collection contains
minute
shapes created with precious metal threads and
small gold or
silver spheres that unveil themselves
with light reflection.
