The best thing about writing this blog is everything that I am learning about jewelry. It is also reaffirming my passion for jewelry, design, and art in general. So, with that said, this whimsical pin is by Kirk's Folly and was made in the last decade. Kirks Folly began in 1979 by two Kirk sisters, Helen and Jenniefer (yes, she spells it with an extra "i"), who began designing and selling hair accessories in New York called "glitter sticks." When their business started growing, they recruited sister Elizabeth and brother George to the team. In 1992, QVC began selling their jewelry, and the business continues to grow every year with new creative and captivating designs. From my research, this pin likely retailed for approximately $36-$58.
Feel free to contact me if you are interested in purchasing this piece. Questions, comments, and additional information are always appreciated. My online shop on www.etsy.com is coming soon.
