These screwdriver necklaces add some toughness to the delicateness of women's jewelry. The necklaces are made of porcelain but emit a high-class luxury feel.

Going by typical gender roles, women aren't generally seen with tools and men aren't typically seen with [dainty jewelry](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pretty-weird), but this set is flipping both those conventions upside down. The set is made by Erica Weiner and it features a white porcelain "handle" for the screwdriver and a gold and silver bit at the top. The screwdrivers also come in [Phillips](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/xs-screwdriver) head if the user so wishes.

While the screwdriver necklace would be at home around the neck of a woman, the style of the pendant leaves room for a man to wear it as well.
