REVIEW: “The
Black Petticoat Society A TURN: Washington’s
Spies Fan Association met Kimberly when we found out that some of her jewelry
are used in the show. We decided to purchase some of her pieces as prizes for our
weekly contests. She was fantastic to work with and helped us in our own
reenacting endeavors. Some of us are new to the reenacting community which can
be a bit intimidating. When dressing for the period, we found out quickly that
if you want to look right, you need to be historically accurate. Kimberly's
extensive research and knowledge helped us choose items that would work with
our clothing. She was a great resource. Knowing we had pieces that are accurate
really helped our confidence levels too. Her pieces are beautifully made, and
are affordable enabling us to build a nice collection. All of us have pieces
from the Sign of the Gray Horse now.”

Client Feedback
“…Believe
me when I say that there are a lot of vendors out there who could take a page or
two from your book when it comes to communication and commitment to customer
service...Thankfully, folks like you have talent and business sense so the rest
of us can keep on improving our impressions, especially with the fine details,
and the little details really always pull impressions together, especially an
upper class civilian or officer of means type impression. Face it, Kim, we make it look good… Confidence
is always key. It’s good for life and for the types of impressions we do.
People can feel confidence wearing your items.
You make that happen for us. Best
wishes to the horses and thanks for all you do.” ~Kenneth Gavin
“There are artists and there are passionate historians but rarely do I
see the two blended so thoroughly as they appear to be in you. Your desire to
see these beautiful things specifically attached to those who portray Mrs.
Washington speaks volumes. I understand completely… As you
can see we portray the Washingtons in the war years. We are currently in 1780. May a Good
Providence bless your business with continued prosperity." ~ Daniel Shippey of Breed's Hill Institute and George Washington's Mount Vernon.
"Wow! My wife looked amazing on Saturday night. We were at our unit's Christmas party in an 18th century room, complete with fireplace and music. The necklace and earrings really enhanced her dress and sparkled in the candlelight. Thank you for the portrait, and the selection of earrings. We'll look for you at Fort Fred in the spring." ~ Bill Hug
"...I love that your jewelry goes just as nicely with modern clothing as with the 18th and 19th century versions." ~ Anne Henninger
~Sherri Dennis
When it comes to reproduction period jewelry, Kim truly has an eye for the exquisite. The amount of research and artistry she puts into every piece makes her jewelry a fabulous addition to any collection, and a joy to wear. I am always eager to see what she’s designing next!” Thanks again, Kimberly ... :)"

I will need more baubles for me and my husband...and those will need some sparkly pretties to compliment them. I'll be stalking your website for just the right thing! All the best," ~ Mary Jane Dean
