This is Elvis Presley's owned and worn 14 karat gold diamond and black sapphire pinky ring. Black Sapphires were Elvis' favorite stone next to diamonds. Elvis gave the ring to his close friend Charlie Hodge one day, along with a new Cadillac Seville. Charlie first met Elvis when he was with a group called the Foggy Mountain River Boys and he met him again when Elvis was going to Germany for the army. Elvis and Charlie were close friends for many years and Charlie lived at Graceland until Elvis passed away in 1977. He was Elvis' stage director, he sang harmony on stage with him, handing him his scarves and helped him with set lists. He also appeared as an extra in many of his films. Very good condition. Comes with letter of provenance from Charlie Hodge and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll™ Certificate of Authenticity.
