Grills seem to be a hot commodity right now. No, we aren't talking about a new Weber for the Memorial Day backyard barbecue in a few weeks. Some of our favorite celebrities decided to pay a visit to the jewelry store in April to get some new ice.
We saw Lil Yachty hit up AB Jewelers in Miami for a full diamond set, Rihanna do her best James Bond villain impression for her Interview cover shoot, and Playboi Carti reach out to one of his go-to shops in Atlanta, Jewelry Unlimited, for an unconventional set of blue open face grills.
Take a closer look at some of this month's best custom jewelry, below.

Lil Yachty's Grill
Jeweler: AB Jewelers
"I got known for my grill like I'm Gary Coleman," raps Lil Yachty on the track "Jeff and Lita." The bar is actually a hilarious reference to Drake and Josh, but that's besides the point. Of course, when you rap like that you have to have some crazy grills in your arsenal to back up the claim. Yachty has hit up everyone from Icebox to Johnny Dang throughout his career. For his latest mouthpiece, he went to Miami's AB Jewelers. The 20-tooth top and bottom set features 16 teeth with invisible set VVS+ diamonds. The remaining four molars are open face with diamond borders. This isn't Yachty's only grill from AB. The gold smile on the "Strike (Holster)" cover is also courtesy of the Miami-based business.
Rihanna's 'Jaws' Grill
Jeweler: Gabby Elan
Unfortunately, an illness kept Rihanna off the Met Gala carpet this year, but at least we got that photoshoot a few weeks ago to accompany her Interview cover story. One of the standout images from the shoot saw Rihanna doing her best impression of the James Bond villain Jaws. The signature element of Jaws' appearance are his titanium grills. For her set, Rihanna hit up Gabby Elan. Despite its simplistic appearance, this grill did present some challenges. "They're kind of a jigsaw style on the teeth and the real trick was getting the bite aligned properly within the gold," Elan Pinhasov of Gabby Elan tells Complex. Pinhasov also notes that Rihanna refused to have the piece made by any jeweler besides them. Quite a stamp of approval.
Future and Metro Boomin's Boominati Freebandz Chains
Jeweler: Eliantte
To celebrate We Don't Trust You and We Still Don't Trust You (and igniting the biggest rap feud of the past decade), Future and Metro Boomin hit up one of the best jewelers in the game for some new pendants. The piece fuses the logos of Metro's Boominati and Future's Freebandz. The result is a gold pyramid with an eagle's face poking out of the front and its wings extending out of each side. The back of the chain is inscribed with the phrase "Forever or Never." This looks like some shit straight out of Yu-Gi-Oh! We approve.
Marvin Harrison Jr.'s Draft Day Chain
Jeweler: Leo Khusro
These days, their new team's cap isn't the only signature accessory we see draft picks rocking at the NFL Draft. More and more every year, we see these players celebrating the huge milestone by showing off some new ice. One of the best examples we saw this year was around the neck of the best wideout in the 2024 class and son of NFL legend Marvin Harrison, Marvin Harrison Jr. The newest member of the Arizona Cardinals was wearing a an oval-shaped pendant with diamonds around the border and enamel paintings on each side inspired by the strong bond with his father that was crafted by Leo Khusro. One side features an images of a lion cub and its father. The flip side shows an illustration of Harrison Jr. as a child and his dad in his number "88" Indianapolis Colts uniform.
This was far from the only piece by Khusro that made it to Draft for the NFL Draft. Cornerbacks Kool-Aid McKinstry and Kamari Lassiter also got some amazing chains of their own. The Texas-based jeweler continues to prove why he's become the go-to guy for some of the best athletes in the world.
Playboi Carti's Blue Open Face Grill
Jeweler: Jewelry Unlimited
Wafi Lalani's Jewelry Unlimited has become a go-to source for Playboi Carti when he wants to grab some new custom pieces. The most recent purchase that Carti has shown off was a set of grills. There is no gold or diamonds to speak of on this one. Instead, Carti opted for metallic blue metal. From what we can see in the photos shared by Jewelry Unlimited, the set features two blue spacers on the top and a row of open face teeth across the bottom. These aren't nearly as intricate as some of Carti's other recent customs from the Atlanta-based jewelry store, like this Opium Rolex, but the pop of color still makes them pretty unique nonetheless.
