GoldTeeth USA

GoldTeeth USA

From a modest 10x6 booth on Church Avenue in 1986, Leo Gold Caps began what would later become a cultural revolution in New York City—the rise of Grillz. At a time when the custom gold teeth scene was virtually untouched, the family business of Leo Gold Caps and Eddie Gold Teeth entered the market with just six handcrafted pieces a day, slowly building a reputation for craftsmanship and originality. The turning point came when co-owner David Abrams completed jewelry school, bringing a new level of technical expertise that transformed the small operation into a recognized name. By 1987, the business had expanded to ten storefronts across the bustling Fulton Street Mall, rebranding as E-Gold USA and dominating both the retail and wholesale market for over a decade, meeting the city’s insatiable demand for same-day Grillz. In 2008, the brand reached its most defining milestone: relocating to the prestigious Diamond District of New York City, where it reemerged as Gold Teeth USA—a name now synonymous with innovation, resilience, and quality. For more than thirty years, Gold Teeth USA has remained steadfast in its philosophy of quality over quantity, offering designs in gold, platinum, and stone settings that represent not only jewelry but also a cultural movement. Their work has been worn and celebrated by an impressive roster of A-list celebrities, including Diddy, 50 Cent, Big Pun, Ja Rule, Ol’ Dirty Bastard, A$AP Ferg, Young M.A., and many others, further cementing their influence on music, fashion, and pop culture. Today, as Gold Teeth USA prepares for its next chapter with a renovated digital presence and a fresh collection designed for a broader global audience, the legacy continues to shine—bridging the gap between history and innovation, and proving that what started as a small family booth has grown into an enduring symbol of craftsmanship, authenticity, and cultural impact.
