AboutTony Trout Expertise I can answer any questions relating to the career and life of Elvis Presley...ANY QUESTION!
Experience I have studied Elvis's music and life and career for over twenty years and I feel that I know most everything about Elvis that there is to know.
Education/Credentials I ateended high school until my Junior year but had to drop out due to abuse from the other students (I have Cerebral Palsy and Hydrocephalus)
Question My best friend is thinking about selling some jewelry worn by Elvis. Her sister has some photos of him wearing them but can't find them. One is a big silver and turquoise necklace and the other is a silver and turquoise guitar ring that opened to reveal a small compartment. Her mother made the jewelry and gave it to him in Clovis NM. They owned a diner by the Norman Petty Studios. I wanted to know If you have ever seen a picture of Elvis wearing either of these items?
Answer Steve,
No, I have never seen photos of Elvis wearing this particular piece of jewelry that you are referring to. Can you give me a better description of what the jewelry looks like?
A picture of the jewelry would be nice if you could provide it but...since that's probably not possible, it's hard to determine if the jewelry was worn by Elvis. Frankly, I've never heard of Elvis owning a silver and turquoise guitar ring and have never seen pictures of it. If he had, it would either be in the possession of Graceland/EPE - although, there are things that Elvis owned that are still in private hands such as the belt he wore for the "Aloha From Hawaii" suit. There has never been anyone come forward with the whereabouts of that belt that he gave away during the concert.
