Kirk's Folly fabulous jewellery
American company Kirk's Folly, producing fabulous jewelry for 35 years, closed November 1, 2014, to the misfortune of its fans. It was success that made a profit. There were adult successors who could continue the business. Well, why then the company closed? I find only one answer – the favorite child, which they developed for 35 years and in which they have invested so much time, love and life, they could not trust anyone. History knows many examples when the control over the company changed owners and was sold, or remained only its name, which over the years lost its former appeal. Managers began to save, alternated with designers and grandeur go into oblivion. Apparently this fate the Kirk's family did not want for their company.

NOTE: The original Kirks Folly closed in 2014 after 35 glorious years in business - however, Jenniefer and Helen did not take kindly to retirement and started designing and manufacturing again because they just couldn't stop!
The most precious thing to them is their customers who have been loyal devotees since the very first day in 1979.
