Elvis' Wedding Band To Be Sold

November 14, 2006 | Other
Elvis Presley's diamond and platinum wedding band from his marriage to Priscilla will be sold in the auction with other Hollywood memorabilia worth over $2 million on Dec. 14 and 15 in Beverly Hills, California.

"The marriage of Elvis and Priscilla Presley was the most significant wedding in the 20th century," said Joseph Maddalena, an owner of Profiles In History, the worldly renowned live internet auction company which will host the auction next month.

"There was Charles & Diana and, of course, Paul & Heather. But there was only one Elvis Presley," Maddalena said. "This is truly a once in a lifetime opportunity to own a true piece of pop culture history."

Elvis' famous wedding band is decorated with eight baguette-cut diamonds within a border of 16 fill-cut diamonds, which is expected to be sold around $100,000 to $150,000. "The King of Rock and Roll" unveiled the band at the Aladdin Hotel in Las Vegas on May 1, 1967, when he wed Pricilla in a ceremony that celebrated one of the most memorable marriages of the 20th century.

Other auction items include James Dean's switchblade featured in the well-known knife fight in "Rebel Without a Cause," estimated price of $30,000 to $50,000, and Jerry Lewis's Dr. Julius Kelp costume from the 1963 classic comedy "The Nutty Professor," which has the estimated price of $25,000 to $30,000.

One thing spring to my mind about Elvis' wedding ring. Elvis threw his wedding ring in the pond at the Circle G. Apparently it hasn't been found yet. Wonder where they got 'this' ring from????

I hear Elvis gave his wedding ring to a friend when he got married a little while after Elvis got married.

I heard years ago, that Elvis used his wedding ring, to hold his bandana around his neck, while he was riding his horse, at his Circle G Ranch, and it fell off, never to be found again. Elvis and the boys searched for days, but never found it. If true, this ring must be a replacement ring. Even so, why would Elvis give his wedding ring away? Maybe he gave it away after his divorce? Maybe someone gave it away after his death. Who knows. Whoever is selling it, must have some kind of proof.

yes I read the same thing he lost it on the grounds of circle G not unless he did get it replaced... Its unusual to sell something like that you would think it would be a shirt or something else T C B
