Col. Tom Parker's Platinum First "TP" Ring From Elvis

Col. Tom Parker's Solid Platinum First "TP" Ring From Elvis Presley W/Letter From Priscilla Presley - This ring is crafted of solid platinum and was a gift from Elvis Presley to Colonel Tom Parker. The ring has Parker's initials "TP" on the top and ribbed shoulders, and is a particularly special piece as it was the first initial ring Elvis ever gave to the Colonel and is a reflection of Elvis' many "EP" rings. Colonel Parker is often referred to as "the man who made Elvis Presley," and was a shrewd businessman who carefully orchestrated Elvis' rise to one of the most legendary and commercially successful entertainers of all time with his sharp-witted management style. 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. The ring was found wrapped in a personalized envelope from Colonel Parker's estate, which is included with the piece. 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: 11.75. Please note: The auction house has a financial interest in this lot. Announcements, descriptions, and disclosures can change up until the time the bidding ends on the item. (WEIGHT: 26.2 grams)
