Dolly Cohen is a jewellery designer based in Paris. She specializes in custom mouth jewellery and has created grill designs for Madonna, Rihanna, Rita Ora, Drake, and Cara Delevingne.

Biography

Cohen worked as a dental technician before turning to grills around 2005. Cohen's grills are handmade to fit the teeth and jaw of the wearer. She makes the grills with chromium chromate. She makes a print and a plat, then sculpts a mold out of alginate. She uses yellow or white 18K gold.[1] She takes one day to make one gold tooth and refuses to recreate oral jewellery she has made in the past. She maintains a laboratory in Paris' seventh arrondissement.[1]

American rapper A$AP Rocky sought Cohen out after seeing one of her creations.[1] She has created multiple grills for Rihanna. One of the grills she created for Rihanna featured a delicate lip ring.[2]

During Givenchy's Fall/Winter 2015 show Cohen collaborated with Riccardo Tisci to create mouthpieces with vertical metal bars reminiscent of the mask worn by Hannibal Lecter in Silence of the Lambs.[3] She also created grills for Hood By Air's Spring 2016 show.[4]
