Elvis Presley's Passion for Jewellery
The �King of Rock and Roll� epitomized fame and fortune, and his jewellery collection befitted the �King� he became. Like the jewellery he wore, Elvis had a magical radiance; it shone from him like some crazy wonderful aura.
By the 70�s, as a regular performer in Las Vegas, Elvis was literally �dripping in jewels�, his on stage persona at once bizarre and magnificent,a powerful �vision of a man� exuding a rare kind of elegance, be-jewelled as he was from head to toe.
Elvis also designed his own jewelry. His most famous jewelry designs are the TCB (Taking Care of Business) and TLC (Tender Loving Care) necklaces and rings, featuring a zigzagged lightening bolt set between the letters, inlaid with precious stones and many were customized with diamonds, sapphires, or emeralds.
He gave the TCB necklaces only to close members of his entourage, special friends, executives at RCA, and Lowell Hays, his personal jeweller, who created all of Elvis' jewelry.
The man who loved all that glitters was gone too soon, but the jewellery he took great pride in designing himself, and wearing on stage and off, resides in museums and in private collections of friends.
�Till we meet you again, may God bless you. Adios�
