Tooth gems

Custom tooth gems with crystals and clean arrangements, adding sparkle without losing the elegance.

  • Full grill You smile and the whole thing lights up: top, bottom, tooth by tooth, not one left out.
  • Twin kites with a row Two kites up front and a row of crystals carrying on across the teeth beside them. Your eye just follows it.
  • Ring and butterfly A ring of crystals around a whole tooth and, two teeth over, a butterfly made of four gems. People look at your mouth twice.
  • Kite and crystal duo It starts with a kite next to the front teeth, carries on with two round ones on the next, and there is still another on its own over on the far side. The longer you look, the more you find.
  • Marquise butterfly A whole butterfly on a single tooth. The wings are two marquises, that long pointed cut, and the body is two round crystals. The kind that stops a conversation.
  • Twin marquises A marquise and a round crystal, then the same again on the next tooth at the same tilt. The repetition is the whole point.
  • Marquise off to one side All the weight on one side, the marquise with its matching crystal, and a single stone opposite to balance it out. Asymmetric on purpose, which is why it looks like nobody else's.
  • Silver butterfly Solid silver, not a single crystal. It doesn't need the light to catch it: you can tell it's a butterfly from across the room, first look.
  • Upright marquise It stands upright on a front tooth, following the long shape of it. One single piece, and you notice it the moment you open your mouth.
  • Aquamarine crystal Blue on a front tooth, in among nothing but clear crystals. It's the one people always ask about.
  • Scattered crystals Loose crystals down both sides of the smile, each one on its own. Wherever the light lands, there's always one answering back.
  • Just one crystal Usually the first one: a single stone, next to the front teeth. Most people walk out already thinking about the second.
  • Brilliant crystal Close to a third of the tooth. It doesn't matter what angle you're seen from: it catches the light.
  • Solitaire up front Right in the middle of a front tooth, halfway up, exactly where the light hits when you talk. No chance of it going unnoticed.
  • One crystal up top Further back and up top, where it doesn't show at first glance. For anyone who wants it for themselves more than to show it off.
  • Crystal at the back Head on you barely see it. Turn your face, smile sideways, and there it is. That's the whole trick.
