Skull and Skeleton Symbolism
Various cultures and the passage of time have played a role in shaping our diverse perceptions about these powerful symbols. Skulls and skeletons hold a special place in many cultures. They celebrate ancestry to some, and are a symbol of all-knowing power and knowledge to others. Skulls symbolize rebirth, and a new life.
Kirks Folly Skulls and Skeletons for Harley Fans
Harley fans, like Jenniefer Kirk of Kirks Folly, love to accessorize with them. And over the many years I was riding motorcycles, skulls and skeletons kept me company on the road. Whether it was my shiny chrome skull gas cap gleefully smiling up at me, reflecting my own joyful ear to ear grin in it's mirrored finish, those gleaming skull carburetor and fender decorations, or that funky skeleton lapel pin that's still in my jewelry box today, I believe my skulls and skeletons showered me with good fortune and blessed me with good luck as I traveled miles of winding roads. Oh, how I wish I had some of these spectacular Kirks Folly pieces along for the ride!
Skulls and Skeletons in Art and Design
Skulls and skeletons have always been portrayed in art from the earliest times. They have also gained widespread acceptance in the contemporary world of design. As much as the skull and skeleton image is drawn upon for its fun and spooky symbolism for Halloween, skulls and skeletons are en vogue again—embraced by fashion designers who recognize the image for its positive symbolism and 'cool' attitude, as much as for its dramatic bare-boned beauty that works so well for jewelry and other fashion accessories.

Kirks Folly and Their Customers
Kirks Folly, a family owned company, is certainly one of the most inspiring retailers we have found anywhere. With products designed and manufactured in their own factory in Providence, Rhode Island, the company offers a wide range of products at prices that give everyone the opportunity to collect Kirks Folly. That extra special 'personal touch' is evident in all they do. There's even a photo album on their website called Shutterbug Reflections, brimful of beaming customers who have shared their personal photos, a lively customer forum, free e-Cards, regular newsletters direct from Fairy Godmother, Jenniefer Kirk, a Customer Comments page, and many more customer-friendly features.
Kirks Folly customers could easily be called 'fans', not only of the products, but of the Kirk family members. And I'm proud to be one of them! My Kirks Folly collection dates back a few years with vintage Kirks Folly pins, bracelets, and earrings, as well as some newer pieces. I adore every piece in my collection, and even the oldest ones look brand new and are the perfect accent to my outfits. Kirks Folly pieces never go out of style. From the sheer genius of the creative concept behind the designs, to the beautifully crafted and exquisitely detailed finished product, to the superb customer care, Kirks Folly is truly one-of-a-kind!
I have experienced the magic of the Kirks Folly products firsthand. Another customer shares her Kirks Folly experience in this customer testimonial selected from the Kirks Folly website:
By the way...I love your jewelry! I just purchased a pair of earrings from the Kirk's Folly line at QVC. I also have some VERY old pieces of Kirk¡äs Folly including a pair of silver "Monkey" earrings that people think are great...I purchased them back in the late 1980¡äs.
Thanks again for being a designer/retailer with a soul." JS
