Thanks Jeanette. Elvis had some beautiful jewelery and I think it's great to see some of it close up.



Elvis Presley's Gold and Diamond Cameo Ring

Heavy nugget-type 18K gold size 10 ring has 17 small single cut diamonds around a Caesar-type head cameo, with an additional 16 small round single cut diamonds around the outer bezel. Inside, the name "Elvis" is engraved against the backside of the cameo. Included is a color photo of Elvis placing the ring on the finger of his long-time friend Janelle McComb.


A 1984 Certificate of Appraisal from Harry Levitch Jewelers identifies the ring as "identical with one
that we had made for Elvis Presley, however, the diamonds have been provided by persons other than us and very probably by J. Matuk on one of Elvis' trips to California."

A hand-written letter from Janelle giving the ring to her son Blair and a note to Blair from Jack Sodin, president of Elvis Presley Enterprises, is also included. The ring is housed in a gray plush drawstring bag, within a white jewelry box,

Elvis Presley's Opal Ring




One of the most beautiful personal effect of Elvis offered in auction! This stunning opal ring was one of Elvis' favorites, sold to him by famed Memphis jeweler Lowell Hays in the 1970s. The impressive opal is approximately 24 x 20 mm and is surrounded by 34 full cut diamonds with a total weight of 1.45 carats. The ring is 14k gold, with the top an antique broach that's been soldered to the shank. Included is a five-page appraisal dated January 2, 1997, from the Chicago Gem Lab, Inc., impeccable provenance from Lowell Hays, and a statement from Elvis' aunt, Delta Mae Biggs. No reserves on this item means your opening bid could be the winning bid! COA from the Elvis Presley Museum.

Too much superstitious people at the auctions maybe?? This beautiful ring not selling might have something to do with the myth that an Opal will bring the wearer bad luck unless they are born in the month of October.

I wonder if Elvis knew about this superstition?
