Grillz are basically jewelry that is worn in the mouth. This new jewelry was invented by hip hop stars over the past few years. Grillz have come to serve as the main identifier for those who are deeply rooted in the hip hop culture.
Since this new form of jewelry was created as a status symbol, it is no wonder they are made out of precious metals like silver, gold, and platinum, and laced with other precious stones such as diamonds. In the hip hop world, having a grill is equivalent to a country singer having a diamond studded belt buckle. Both exalt its wearers above the rest of the people in the crowd.
Grillz come standard like most jewelry, however you can have grillz custom fitted to your teeth. The standard practice in wearing grillz is to wear them on either the top or the bottom teeth, mainly the top teeth. Very seldom do you see peeps wearing them on both top and bottom at the same time.
The best way to purchase a grill would be to buy a custom grill kit. You can buy these kits on the Internet. Take a mold of your teeth and send it to the manufacturer whose grillz you like. They will make the grillz to custom fit your teeth.
Grillz are defiantly a status symbol, and a must have accessory for die hard hip hoppers. Go ahead and stand out from the rest of the pack by sporting your grill, today!
