The õhuLoss group of Estonian jewellery artists has opened its exhibition in the framework of the Schmuck 2010 jewellery show.

A group of Estonian artists called õhuLoss is also opening its own exhibition. Close to 70 pieces of jewellery from recent years will be on display at the gatehouse of the Alter Nordfriedhof on Arcisstr 45. The exhibition will be open until 7 March.

Accompanying the exhibition is a publication in 15 languages with an essay by Peeter Laurits. Laurits has said regarding õhuLoss: « They belong to a category of artists – so rare in today’s world – who have not forgotten what it means to (be) sublime.«
