This is Elvis Presley's stage worn diamond and gold nugget ring that he gifted to a fan in the audience at a concert in Asheville, North Carolina in 1975. This 14lt gold and 8.05ct diamond ring is set with 16 round brilliant cut diamonds and three emerald cut diamonds. he At this 1975 concert in North Carolina, Elvis threw his black Gibson guitar into the audience and two men in the front row grabbed for the guitar and wrestled for it briefly. One man ended up with the guitar, and Elvis called the other man over to the front of the stage where he met him, took this ring off his finger and gave it to him. Elvis walked back across the stage saying into the microphone, "Ah, what's $16,000." The man's name was Lloyd Perry, and the ring comes with a letter of provenance from him as well as newspaper articles and photographs. Also comes with a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
