Elvis Presley experts and historians have long known about a collection of jewelry the singer gave to his manager Colonel Tom Parker.
Both collectors and fans have spent decades searching for the items, which were thought to be lost. Thanks to Brigitte Kruse, founder and CEO of GWS Auctions, who found and assembled the pieces, they can now be seen together for the first time.
Presley’s former wife Priscilla worked with Kruse on the collection, although Priscilla does not own any of pieces. She added that it was a running joke with her former husband that he constantly bought or commissioned jewelry for Parker because the manager already had everything he needed and the Presleys did not know what else to buy him.Article content
