Description:	From the press release: Elvis liked expensive things: cars, motorcycles, clothes and jewelry. His jewels suited a king. He wore lavish pendants on heavy gold chains; Large and sumptuous rings with rubies, sapphires, lapis lazuli and emeralds; Bracelet of gold and with precious gemstones. Like Elvis himself, they were at times dazzlingly tasteful and beautiful and 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 his possessions away to his nearest and dearest as well as to strangers. An expensive horse shoe was designed by Memphis jewels Lowell Hayes, specifically for Elvis to wear on stage during the Aloha from Hawaii show in 1973. Elvis gave the ring away a few years later. It was eventually sold at auction in 2017 for $ 204,800. This Memphis Mansion Publishing edition is limited to 500 copies. Source: www.memphismansion.dk
