Creating new dialogues between threads and metal.

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 jewelry 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.

floema

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.

the surprise of what is possible to create from a single thin thread

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.

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.

Every single piece of this collection is created hand- weaving several precious threads. Some of the twines contain precious and colorful stones.

Aria collections

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.

Onde collections

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.
