This is quite disturbing but apparently it could be yours.....below is from the Youtube upload
In a documented one-time surgery-performance, a plastic surgeon removed a 110mm x 10mm strip of skin from the abdomen of Sruli Recht. The subcutaneous tissue and epidermis was then scraped from the dermis, which is stripped of fat by hand and blade, before being salted, and tanned with an Alum solution. The resulting leather from the dermis was prepared for use in the ring, Forget Me Knot.
SR661 - Leather made from the abdomen skin of Sruli Recht, mounted to a 24 carat gold band.
There will be only one of this piece made.
The Forget Me Knot band is presented with a DNA certificate and a complete DVD documentary of the process, surgery and interviews with the involved team.

This is fascinating to say the least. One of the only examples of a designer truly putting himself into his work. Certainly bridges the gap that some perceive between fashion and art.
Once again Sruli continues to be one on the forefront of pushing the boundaries of design, innovation and creativity. You can't get much more invested and dedicated to your craft than this.
I'd love to see more photos of the ring and the entire process (not just the tissue harvest) up to the mounting of the skin on the ring.
The surgeon side of me can appreciate the nice closure of the incision afterwards and the good choice of angle and location of the donor site :)
I hope the video generates more dialogue and discussion. Usage of human skin for products has a storied past. Of course the documented harvesting and tanning of human skins at Buchenwald both to preserve tattoos and also for appliances such as lampshades. Old tomes have also been known to have been bound in human skin (some of which are present and on display in Philly at the Mutter museum). This was known to be done for medical books such as anatomy texts way back when as well. The technique known as anthropodermic bibliopegy.
I'd love to read about Sruli's inspiration/concept for the piece and what spurred him to create it.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

Agreed, I'm much more interested in the process following the surgery.
This could be the new form of extreme body modification. Lets start a business...we just need a designer, plastic surgeon, a couple folks on the business end. Get in while it's hot.Originally posted by hausofblaqGrow up.

i was tempted to put this video on the Fashion Media category but thought this place would be more appropriate. Yet, can i still post this there?"Things you own, end up owning you." --- Tyler Durden [FightClub 1999]

Oooopss..my bad.
yeah that makes more sense. I wonder if it'll be anyone buying this. Wasn't even tempted to buy when i mistaken it as 350euro...well the thought went thru my head but i couldn't take it...i just can't. If it happens to be a szer who actually purchases this, please do share!
The most scary thing is that you can only sense this guy's insanity through what he does. He looks normal(altho a bit too calm all the time) and is polite in the video."Things you own, end up owning you." --- Tyler Durden [FightClub 1999]

He continues to have that bit of humor in his work (the models' expressions are awesome) and is that an iphone controlled flying camera I see in one of the photos painted black/gray?
Can't wait for more images and details to show up online and I hope that more retailers pick up Sruli's work this season.www.AlbertHuangMD.com - Digital Portfolio Of Projects & Designs

Shit, the man knows how to put on a show! The drones scanning the faces of the models were a very neat idea, I can't wait to see the video they make of this presentation. The clothes looked beautiful, and I really liked the slippers. Might try to save up for a pair if they are ever made in a small enough size for me.
