Elvis Presley's owned and worn 14kt gold and diamond ring. From the collection of the late Irwin Pate who passed away in May 2018. Irwin was a renowned booking agent and promotional manager for over four decades. He promoted talent all over the United States and Internationally and during his career he and his wife Clarine obtained a large collection of personal clothing and articles belonging to numerous entertainers. When traveling on concert tours Irwin often would obtain many of these articles from both tour crew members or venue staff. This 14kt gold and diamond ring (7 diamonds) was given by Elvis to a venue employee in the 1970's. A few years later the employee sold it to Irwin after he told him of his collection. Irwin was able to verify it had belonged to Elvis as the employee had a picture of himself with Elvis wearing the ring. Comes with a letter of authenticity from Irwin Pate's widow, Clarine Pate on the Pate company letterhead and a Gotta Have Rock & Roll Certificate of Authenticity.
