Forget Me Knot ring by Sruli Recht
The piece itself is quite gruesome and looks very obviously human. Quite an amazing item with the level of dedication it would have taken to achieve. I can’t say I’m surprised to see 1/1 in the description either. I doubt Sruli is going to rush back out to make another.

Forget Me Knot
SR661, Nov/Dec 2012, 1 of 1
Anthropodermic leather and 24 carat gold
€350,000
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.
