This Kirk's Folly Christmas tree brooch came into the shop in Scarborough where I exhibit here in Maine along with many other Christmas brooches. Kirk's Folly began in 1979 and by 1992 it was selling on QVC. This particular brooch appears to be from the 1990's era when bling was popular everywhere. It is a retired piece, but I do not know the exact year despite a good deal of research. The brooch looks similar to the 2000 edition, but this one has an angel putting the star on the tree. It is covered with clear rhinestones, icicles that dangle and crystal AB dangling balls. It measures 2 1/4" from the top of the star to the bottom of the tree trunk, and additionally icicles dangle below the tree trunk. I have tried to show the dangles in a photo. I have looked it over very carefully, and I see no missing stones anywhere. It is signed Kirk's Folly with a copyright mark on the back as seen in a photos. If you love Christmas tree brooches and in particular the whimsical designs of Kirk's Folly, this brooch will make an excellent addition to your collection. The clasp and hinge are working perfectly, and the icicles move when the person wearing the brooch does, such a fun piece of jewelry.
