Elvis Presley's owned and worn sterling silver and brown sapphire ring from the collection of Colonel Tom Parker. An amazing Elvis ring that Elvis gave to the Colonel then he gave it to renowned booking agent and promotional manager Irwin Pate. Pate was well-known in show business for over four decades. Over his long career, he and his wife Clarine Pate, obtained a large collection of personal clotting and articles belonging to numerous entertainers. Irwin knew Elvis Presley and he was also good friends with Colonel Tom Parker, Elvis's manager. Irwin worked with Elvis and the Colonel several times over the years before Elvis passed away. After Elvis passed, the Colonel gifted and sold Irwin some articles that belonged to Elvis, including this ring. It has been in the Pate collection every since. Ring size 9.75. Very good condition. Comes with a letter from Irwin's widow, Clarine Pate, on their Pate Entertainment, Inc. letterhead, and a Gotta Have Rock and Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
