Hi! I'm Sema, the creative mind and soul behind Floweredsky Designs.
You might be wondering, What exactly does Floweredsky mean? Is it a family name, or perhaps a made-up word?
Let me share a little story behind the name. Sema means "Sky" in Turkish, and as you may already know, I’m originally from the beautiful city of Istanbul, Turkey.
Throughout my life, I’ve been known for my green thumb—my love for plants and flowers runs deep. To me, they are not just living things but miracles that we get to witness every day. Their simplicity and quiet beauty resonate with me, and I’ve always appreciated the minimalism they represent.
At the age of 15, this love for nature led me to create the name Floweredsky, blending the vastness of the sky with the delicate beauty of flowers. As I reflect on it now, I realize that the seagulls, which are such an iconic part of Istanbul’s skyline, also found their way into my logo. Back then, I never could have imagined how the name would grow into what it is today.

Coming from a Mediterranean background and one of the world’s most vibrant and cosmopolitan cities, Istanbul, has shaped my perspective on blending modern craftsmanship with timeless beauty. The fusion of sleek, hammered geometric shapes and sparkling, high-quality gemstones reflects my unique vision.
I see my culture as an invaluable source of inspiration. Growing up in Istanbul, a city rich with cultural, historical, architectural, and spiritual influences, has deeply impacted both my design process and techniques. The city itself is a living mosaic, where diverse elements coexist in harmony—much like the wire-wrapped gemstones that define my jewelry. My collection features minimalist designs crafted from sterling silver, gold-filled metals, and carefully selected gemstones.
Furthermore, my latest designs are deeply inspired by the beauty of the natural world. I use elements such as plant parts and tree barks, carefully selecting each piece to highlight the intricate textures and organic patterns found in nature. Through the ancient technique of lost wax casting, I transform these natural elements into exquisite, one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry. Each design captures the essence of nature's raw beauty, resulting in jewelry that is not only unique but also a celebration of the environment itself.
My design ideas usually find first signs of life in my sketch papers, then I hand-form, file, hammer and polish the metal for my geometric shapes. I adorn these geometric shapes with faceted gemstones using wire wrapping methods. |
Jewelry, like clothing, is an intimate expression of individuality. Both enhance the beauty and the spirit of the wearer. My jewelry designs reflect this vision and my style – minimalist with flair.
Currently I live in Rhode Island with my muses – my daughter and my other half.
P.S. Recently, we have an addition to our small family, a 10 pound puppy-Miss Daisy...
Miss Daisy is helping me at Tiverton Harvest Market , 2021 ... She was a super star!!!
