Is\u00e4ni ty\u00f6skenteli vuosia valtion omistamalla Alkon tehtaalla Koskenkorvalla, joka sijaitsee Kurikan naapurissa ja joka on tunnettu mm. kansan makuun sopivasta Koskenkorva-juomasta.<br \/>\nIs\u00e4ni on l\u00e4hes aina el\u00e4nyt naisten ymp\u00e4r\u00f6im\u00e4n\u00e4, h\u00e4nell\u00e4 on vaimo, kaksi tyt\u00e4rt\u00e4 sek\u00e4 tytt\u00e4rentyt\u00e4r.

His family escaped as refugees during the war when he was a child and they settled to Finland. Then his father, my grandfather, was working for a mining company for many years and my grandmother was mainly home with my father and his sister Annikki.<br \/>\nThe most of his life my father has lived in the western Finland, at Ostrobothnia region, where my mother Hillervo Susanna Lohikoski-Beloff is originally from. Since early 1970\u2019s until today (December 2015) they have lived in Kurikka. He worked as an electrician for decades for the Finnish State owened company Alko at the Koskenkorva factory, which is famous for Finnish folk-spirit called Koskenkorva and is located in the village next to Kurikka.<br \/>\nMy father\u2019s life has been surrounded by women; a wife, 2 daughters and a granddaughter. Maybe this is one part of the reason that he got interested in making jewellery. At least there has not been lack of users for his jewellery. However, there has also been occasional harsh criticism towards his creations within the family.<\/p>\n<p>Some of his first jewelries are two rings that were done early 1960\u2019s for which he collected the silver from old fuses that were thrown away by the factory in Harjavalta where he worked at the time. One can say that he was at the head of his time in that, as these ideas about collecting precious metals from used electronic parts are just recently been launched.<br \/>\nThis website has a majority of his jewellery production, but obviously some of them are not yet photographed, and some will still be added. The jewellery is made mainly from silver, with some experiments using and combining other materials e.g. stone, plastic, and titanium among others. The works using titanium are often blue\/violet-colored, which is the colour titanium when it is heated.<\/p>\n<p>Last weekend my father celebrated his 80th birthday (14.12.2015). This website is made in honor of that. Website made by Erich Berger, photos by me and granddaughter Ada Beloff. There exists also a small book, which is made by my sister Marja Beloff from these jewellery photos.<\/p>\n<p>Laura Beloff, Copenhagen 15.12.2015<\/p>\n<p>In the image below I am with him visiting Lousiana-museum (Copenhagen) Kusama-exhibition.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_560\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-560\" style=\"width: 567px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-560\" src=\"http:\/\/beloff-jewellery.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Image2.jpg\" alt=\"Raimo Beloff &amp; Laura Beloff, Lousiana 2015\" width=\"567\" height=\"868\" srcset=\"http:\/\/beloff-jewellery.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Image2.jpg 567w, http:\/\/beloff-jewellery.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/11\/Image2-196x300.jpg 196w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 567px) 100vw, 567px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-560\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Raimo Beloff &amp; Laura Beloff, Lousiana 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>English text below T\u00e4ll\u00e4 sivustolla on esill\u00e4 koruja, jotka ovat tuloksia is\u00e4ni yli 50-vuoden aktiivisesta harrastuksesta: korujen tekemisest\u00e4.
