Col. Parker's 14K Hilton Ring From Barron Hilton

Col. Tom Parker's Las Vegas Hilton 0.75ctw Multi-Gemstone and Diamond 14K Yellow Gold Ring From Barron Hilton W/Letter From Priscilla Presley - This ring was gifted to Colonel Tom Parker from Barron Hilton as a token of the Hilton family's appreciation for the Colonel's role in booking Elvis to perform in the city, changing Las Vegas entertainment as we know it today. Elvis and the Colonel were responsible for establishing the bar for a truly unique Las Vegas entertainment experience. Elvis performed 58 consecutive sold out shows at the International Hotel beginning on July 31, 1969, and continued to perform at the hotel through its rebranding to the Las Vegas Hilton in 1971. He continually broke his own attendance records upon his returns in February 1970, August 1970, and August 1972. This ring is crafted of solid 14k yellow gold and features the Hilton logo in the center with approximately 0.75ctw diamond, emerald, ruby and blue sapphire accents. The ring is also engraved "COL" on the inside of the band and has an emery finish. This piece was acquired from the Lost Jewelry Collection of Elvis Presley and Col. Tom Parker, which was thought to have been lost for decades. This item, as with the entire Lost Jewelry Collection, has never been offered at auction or to the public. The piece will come with a letter from Ms. Priscilla Presley who has served as an expert consultant on this collection. Ring size: 10.
