Tom Parker's Avedon 14K Yellow Barked Gold Circular Cufflinks Gifted From Elvis Presley W/Letter From Priscilla Presley - These Avedon cufflinks were owned by Colonel Tom Parker and are made of solid 14k yellow gold with a round shape and a barked gold finish.

Elvis and the Colonel had a business relationship and friendship that lasted over 20 years in which Elvis rose to extraordinary fame and continued to rise until his unfortunate passing.
