Elvis The King of the Rings. Vol. 1

From the press release:
“Elvis liked expensive things: cars, motorcycles, clothes and jewelry. His jewels were fit for a king.
He wore opulent pendants on heavy gold chains;
Large and sumptuous rings with rubies, sapphires, lapis lazuli and emeralds;
Bracelet made of gold and with precious gems.
Like Elvis himself, they were at times dazzlingly tasteful and beautiful and at other times flashy and wild
Occasionally he designed the jewels himself, such as the famous TCB -Taking Care of Business pendant and ring.
He loved to give away his possessions to those closest to him as well as to strangers.
An expensive horseshoe was designed by Memphis jeweler Lowell Hayes specifically for Elvis to wear on stage during the Aloha from Hawaii performance in 1973. Elvis gave the ring away a few years later. It was eventually sold at auction in 2017 for $204,800.
I always wondered why Elvis gave away so many of his things?
Yes, he was rich. He had everything he could want.
But many wealthy people don’t give anything away. In fact, for some it is probably never enough.
Singer Robert Goulet described Elvis’ penchant for generosity: “I remember one time we sat together backstage for two hours. And he was a charming, lovely man. And at one point I said, ‘That’s a beautiful ring, you have there. “He said, ‘Do you like it?’ I said, ‘It’s beautiful!'” He took it off his finger and put it on mine.
He gave me his ring.
