About Us

COLDTEETH was founded in 2019 out of a simple frustration: the jewelry I wanted didn’t exist.

I was searching for pieces that felt bold without being excessively loud. Substantial, symbolic, and refined enough to live with every day. When I couldn’t find them, I began making them myself.

My background is self-taught and rooted in physical materials: woodworking, drawing, painting, clay. I was always drawn to working with my hands, but metal held a particular gravity. The idea of taking something nearly indestructible, melting it down, and reshaping it into something meant to last for generations became the foundation of COLDTEETH.

Each piece begins as a design and is created in wax before being cast in solid sterling silver using the lost-wax process. These pieces favor weight, durability, and permanence over trends or polish. I draw influences from American traditional tattoo symbolism — timeless forms, strong lines, and imagery meant to endure.

COLDTEETH exists in the space between refinement and rebellion. The pieces are built to be worn, lived in, and kept, not replaced. This is jewelry made to age with you, carrying marks, meaning, and memory over time.

What began as a personal pursuit has grown into a body of work defined by consistency, restraint, and longevity. This is not fast fashion, and it’s not decorative. It’s metal, shaped with intent. Heritage in the making.
