For decades, silver jewellery has occupied a special place in Kenya’s fashion culture. From chunky chains and bracelets to rings and the once-popular single silver tooth cap, metallic accessories have long served as symbols of style, status and self-expression.
Today, that fascination with precious metals has evolved into something far bolder.
A new generation of Kenyans is embracing custom-made grillz, decorative dental covers crafted from silver, gold or brass, transforming smiles into some of the most striking fashion statements in the country.
A younger generation of artistes has helped drive the movement.
Rapper SKoko and Chief Muya, formerly of H_Art The Band, recently unveiled custom-made silver grillz crafted by Nairobi-based designer Chief Custom Grillz.
