The main concept of the exhibition was to show the range of use of the amber in contemporary jewellery created by professional artists. This interest was largely inspired by the specific materiality of the amber and its historical significance. The amber was the first product to be brought from the Baltics to the ancient cultural countries, making the world recognize the Baltic countries. It was Cornelius Tacitus (56 – 117 AD) who mentioned the Baltics in written sources for the first time. The sea and land amber roads were significant between the 1st and 5th centuries AD. These routes connected Aquileia, the Province of Venice in Italy and St. Petersburg in Russia.

Gallery Putti has chosen to follow the historical amber

route by land, connecting the north and south of the

Europe, crossing Estonia, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland,

Austria, Slovenia and Hungary.

One of the most prominent Latvian fashion designer brands Mareunrol'S was responsible for the scenography of the exhibition. Marite Mastina and Rolands Peterkops, fashion designers who work on the exhibition, created their first joint collection in 2002 while studying in Riga College of Applied Arts. Since then, they have participated and received awards in various international fashion and arts festivals, including the International Fashion and Photography Festival of Hyeres (France). You can read about these artists on the website of the gallery Putti.
In the framework of the exhibition, a catalog created by artist Kirils Kirasirovs was issued; authors of the text: Una Meistere and Daiga Rudzate. The catalog was issued by the culture and art portal Arterritory in collaboration with the foundation "Riga 2014".

The art gallery Putti has been operating in Riga since 2000. It was originally founded with the aim of promoting the work of Latvian jewellery artists. However, gaining local and international recognition, it expanded its activities and the range of the authors was complemented by outstanding foreign jewellery artists. Artists of the gallery work in various author techniques, creating unique jewellery that represent both contemporary and conceptual jewellery direction. Every year, the gallery hosts four thematic or solo exhibitions to be viewed simultaneously with the permanent exhibition, which usually consists of Latvian jewellery and fashion artists. Works exhibited in the gallery are also available for purchase. Since 2006, the gallery is located in broad, specially built premises. Address: 16, Marstalu Street, Old Riga.
