*ThrowBack ThurSday's: Eddies Gold Teeth

Ages ago, Eddie obtained his degree in Dental Gold from Queens Community College and hit the ground running. Born in Surinam and considerably well traveled, Eddie became familiar with a plethora of different styles. He began creating gold teeth the likes of which no one in NY had ever seen. The exceptional skill and unparalleled detail of his work soon made his teeth a sought after commodity. But Eddie didn’t stop there. Determined to broaden the appeal of dental jewelry, he invented the first removable ‘grills’ in the industry. After designing a grill for Kool G. Rap back in the day, he was ‘discovered’ by New York’s early hip hop community. Grills for Flavor-Flav, Big Daddy Kane and Heavy D soon followed, and his career skyrocketed. Having quickly reached the top of his game and solidified his name as the man to see for gold teeth in the Northeast, Eddie challenged himself to tap a new market and headed down south. After a brief stint owning a storefront in Miami, Florida, and outfitting Luke’s camp with one-of-a-kind golds, he made his way to the A-town. He reached Atlanta just as it was starting to bubble and found the perfect hub for his unique talent. A hand-painted picture of Cee-lo Green occupies an honored position on the wall of Eddie’s shop, commemorating his first customer from Atlanta’s A-list. Lil’ John and Ludacris were soon to follow. With business booming, Eddie opened a second location on Peachtree downtown to accommodate the overflow from his original Greenbriar shop. He soon expanded his repertoire to include various metals and precious gems. As the trend, that Eddie had a heavy hand in developing, caught on across the nation, celebrities from as far as California were flying to Atlanta to visit the master jeweler. Most recently, Nas flew down from New York for his second pair of fronts with fiancé Kelis in tow. Reportedly, their matching grills read ‘Nasty’ and ‘Tasty’ respectively. Remarkably, Eddie has taken his huge success in stride; he has the humility of a man who is simply following his passion. A passion to improve the world, one smile at a time….
