Grill (jewelry)
In hip hop culture, a grill (also front or golds) is a type of jewelry worn over the teeth. Grills are made of metal and are generally removable. They began to be worn by hip hop artists in the early 1980s, and upgraded during the 90s in New York City, but they became more widely popular during the mid-2000s due to the rise of Southern hip hop rap and the more mainstream pop culture status hip hop attained. Though grills are fitted to the tooth impression of the wearer, whether they are safe for long-term wear is unknown.
== Characteristics and wearer demographics ==
Grills are made of several types of metal (often silver, gold or platinum) that is sometimes inlaid with precious stones; they are generally removable, though some may be permanently attached to the teeth.〔Schepp, David. ("Gold Teeth Are a Gold Mine." ) ''BBC News'' (August 3, 2001). Accessed September 14, 2007.〕 Gold grills can be made from 10 karat, up to 24 karat gold. The gold can be tinted yellow, white and rose color.〔("Facts about gold teeth" ) Krunk Grillz. Accessed January 1, 2014.〕
Grills can cost anywhere from one hundred dollars to thousands of dollars, depending on the materials used and the number of teeth covered.〔〔Sims, Brian. ("History of the Grill." ) ''Hip Hop DX'' (July 17, 2006). Accessed September 14, 2007.〕
As of 2006, grills were most often worn by 18- to 35-year-old African American male hip-hop listeners,〔Laue, Christine. "Grins with Grills." ''Omaha World-Herald'' (February 7, 2006).〕 and one commentator argued that grills will never become mainstream.〔 However, grills are worn by men and women of all races, including celebrities who are not a part of hip-hop culture (such as Marilyn Manson and Travis Barker of Blink-182).〔 Many members of the band Avenged Sevenfold wear elaborate grills as well. Korn frontman Jonathan Davis wore a pair in the music video for the song "Coming Undone". Milan Moškon, the drummer of the Czech death metal band Epicardiectomy, wears grills as a part of his hip hop inspired appearance. Grills received mainstream attention, including on network television, when, during the 2012 Summer Olympics, Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte posed with a grill that sported stones in the design of an American flag; he had previously worn diamond grills after earlier competitions.
