How Elton John Turned His Kneecaps Into Jewelry After Surgery | E! News
When I had my kneecaps removed, the left one first and then the right, I asked my surgeon if I could keep the kneecaps, which he was rather startled about. Elton John sharing a surprising repurpose of his kneecaps. The singer sitting down for the World Gold Council’s short documentary, Touched by Gold, detailing the jewelry redesign backstory. My subject said I had the worst knees he’s ever operated on. That hole was actually in my kneecap. It looks a bit like an old artifact from Egypt or something. The music icon’s right kneecap becoming the brand new necklace seen on the 2024 BFI London Film Festival red carpet as his left and smaller kneecap provided just enough to become a brooch. Both now cherished additions to Elton’s keepsake collection. And then the other one is a brooch. Yeah. So what we did was the left one was a smaller kneecap. Yeah, it was a smaller kneecap and we couldn’t do so much with it. So it’s an incredibly difficult job to get the gold following the shape of something quite as unusual. Unusual. Yes. Gold is about the only material you could do that in. I honestly think these are timeless pieces that will last for centuries. [Music] [Music]
