Custom Grillz and Bombay-Inspired Jewellery
Mixing hip-hop swagger with traditional Zaveri Bazaar craftsmanship. From custom dental grillz to city-inspired accessories, explore the Frostbite Lab aesthetic.
This campaign with my parents went viral and it’s probably the work I’m most proud of. It shows that grillz aren't just for rappers; they're for anyone who wants to express themselves. Seeing them rock custom gold grillz, featured in Outlander Magazine, was a reminder to keep pushing boundaries.

Here’s a look at the range of possibilities for your own custom grillz. This image from a magazine feature showcases different designs, from single-tooth caps with meenakari work to full sets with unique gemstone inlays. Each piece is designed from scratch to tell your story.
My Dadi (grandmother) wearing her first set of grillz for a shoot. Her reaction was priceless and it proved my point: custom jewelry is about attitude, not age. This was a special moment featured in Travel + Leisure.
This is where the magic happens. I’m here in the workshop with one of our master karigars from Zaveri Bazaar, looking over a new design. We blend old-school techniques with new-school ideas to make every piece.

About this collection
Getting a custom grill or piece starts with a conversation about your vibe, not just a catalog order. Because we take dental impressions for every grill, the fit is 100% yours—no one else’s. Whether you're eyeing a subtle silver cap or a diamond-studded jadau piece, my team of karigars in Zaveri Bazaar handles the work so you get something that’s actually wearable, not just a costume prop.
Your Story, Our Craft
At Frostbite Lab, we aren't just selling accessories; we’re merging the street culture of Mumbai with centuries-old jewelry techniques. Whether you want a full iced-out set or a subtle 'Motifs of Mumbai' pendant, everything starts with your personal narrative.
The Process: From Impression to Wear
When you order custom dental grillz, we start with a precise in-person dental impression session at my Mumbai studio. This isn’t one-size-fits-all. We use medical-grade materials to ensure it is safe for oral wear. Once we have the mould, my team of karigars in Zaveri Bazaar—the heart of the city’s jewelry district—goes to work. We apply age-old methods like meenakari and jadau to modern designs.
Why Grillz are for Everyone
I’ve made pieces for rappers, students, and even my own dadi. The goal is to break the idea that grillz are only for stage performers. If you have an idea, a symbol that means something, or just want to rock a different kind of jewelry, we can make it happen.
