Behind the Shine: The Art of Crafting a Grammy The Grammy statuette is a true work of art, no doubt. Each one is handmade and takes 5 hours to create. Every year, between 600 and 800 of these iconic trophies are produced for the Grammys and the Latin Grammys.

The handheld gramophone statuettes are crafted in Colorado, using a special alloy called gramiyum . This alloy was designed over 20 years ago by John Billings, who handcrafts the awards in Ridgway, a small town with fewer than 1,000 people. Billings replaced the original dull lead trophies with a flashier, stronger zinc alloy, which is then gold-plated.
