Exhibit “Stone in Estonian Jewellery”

08.06.2009 - 02.09.2009

The exhibition “Stones in Estonian Jewellery”, displayed at the Adamson-Eric Museum in 2008, is now in Helsinki at the Estonian Embassy on a slightly smaller scale. This exhibition presents an overview of the use of this unique and location-specific material by Estonian jewellery designers from the 1950's until today. In addition to Adamson-Eric, stone-inspired jewellery by Viivi Aavik, Mari Käbin, Tiina Käesel, Urve Küttner, Lilian Linnaks, Kadri Mälk, Anu Paal, Helge Pihelga, Ane Raunam, Anne Roolaht, Juta Vahtramäe, Harvi Varkki, Kertu Vellerind and Raili Vinn are also on display.
Geologists helped to establish the specific types of stone used by the artists. The most common natural stones found in Estonia are introduced together with jewellery on the photos by Tõnis Saadre, accompanied by Tõnu Oja's texts.
The exhibit was compiled by Estonian Museum of Art employees Ülle Kruus and Kersti Koll (Adamson-Eric Museum), and the display was designed by artist Anu Paal.
