A man who saved his finger nail clippings for a year to turn them into an engagement ring has left social media users reeling in disgust.
The unnamed man, from Japan, shared the process of creating the engagement ring on YouTube channel Kiwami Japan, which went on to be shared on Twitter by SCMP News.
In the video, he explained that he collected his fingernail clippings for 365 days and filmed the process of them being turned into a piece of jewellery.
Social media users were revolted, with some calling it 'disgusting', and one posting: 'When he is tightening the bolt and the finger nail juice squirted out, I started to retch.'
In a YouTube video entitled 'Engagement ring made from human nails', Kiwami was seen clipping his nails before collecting them in a blender.
After blending the nails, he went on to grind them into a very fine powder, before mixing it with water in a pan.
He then compressed the substance, and squeezed out any excess liquid until he was left with a small amount of powder.
The man then compressed the powder inside a bolt once again, before placing it in the oven for 90 minutes.
From there, he revealed the powder had transformed into a black sticky clay-like substance.
The man then went on to press the clay-like substance into a diamond shape mould, creating a silver ring, which he had also made himself.
Once the ring was complete, he placed the dull, black stone, which had no resemblance to fingernails, in place.
SCMP News' video has been watched over 200,000 times and had hundreds of likes and shares.
Many people were shocked and disgusted the news, with one commenting: 'That's just flat out gross.'
Another commented: 'I believe I'm not the only one feeling disgusting.'
One added: 'I hope he cleaned out the grinder before reusing it for his coffee beans.''He's using kitchen implements for several stages of this,' one added, 'It makes me want to throw up.'
They added: 'I would never accept a dinner invitation from this man.'
One commented: 'Humanity was a mistake.'
