Quarter Screw Necklace

A Quarter Screw strung onto an 18-inch high quality, German-manufactured braided nylon cord. A two-strand lanyard knot keeps the handmade English porcelain bead in place.

"The Quarter Screw is capital (the quarter) fused to labor (the screwdriver) with (as always) capital at the head and labor getting the shaft. But that doesn't change the fact that it is also a tool, an object designed - explicitly - for the manipulation of Phillips-head screws."

- Malcolm Gladwell

This screwdriver is a #2 Phillips-head bit (the most useful) brazed to a U.S. quarter.
