History Gold Toothpicks

Since the Middle Ages, and possibly before, gold toothpicks have been viewed as a perfect gift for the person who has everything.  Often they were accessories favored by  both nobility and high ranking officials, such as ship's captains, priests and sheriffs.  Ancient toothpicks were often in the shape of a sword and might include an ear wax spoon (don't get the ends confused!)

Gold Toothpicks enjoyed a resurgence in Victorian England. Fans of the British show The Avengers will remember that Steed inherited a solid gold Victorian toothpick from his Uncle Joe.

Today, gold toothpicks, while still fairly rare, are becoming more popular as personal and corporate gifts for the executive that thinks he has everything. 

The perfect gift item.. at a price that fits any budget. Our gold toothpicks are handcrafted by designer Stephen Brow and come in their own leather case. You can choose from 10K Gold Toothpicks, 14K Gold Toothpicks or 18 Gold Toothpicks in either the double taper or single taper (round one end) styles.
