We came across Erica Weiner Jewelry this week and were happy to see some creative pieces combined with a socially responsible company based out of New York City. The line focuses in on craftsmanship and affordability (you won’t find a piece over $100), enabled by a team of well taken care of friends.

One of our favourite pieces is the Penknife Necklace, which features an operational one inch penknife as a pendant on a thin twenty four inch brass chain. You can check out the fine details including brass rivets and a tiny notch for opening the knife with your fingernail.

Aside from the vintage inspired pieces, we were especially drawn to the company in one line off their site. “Thanks for supporting us–you’ve given us the freedom to sustain ourselves financially and creatively.”

Erica Weiner Jewelry is available in their Online Shop and The Drake General Store.
