Col. Tom Parker's 4.5mm Silver Pearl and 14K Yellow Gold Tie Bar Gifted From Elvis Presley W/Letter From Priscilla Presley - This gold tie bar was owned by Colonel Tom Parker and was a gift from Elvis Presley. The tie bar is crafted of 14k yellow gold and has a sunray pattern and a 4.5mm silver pearl. Elvis often gave gifts to all those he cared about, from the Colonel, to his entourage the Memphis Mafia, and even his fans. Colonel Parker is often referred to as "the man who made Elvis Presley," and was a shrewd businessman who carefully orchestrated Elvis' rise to one of the most legendary and commercially successful entertainers of all time with his sharp-witted management style. 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. This piece was acquired from the Lost Jewelry Collection of Elvis Presley and Col. Tom Parker, which was thought to have been lost for decades. The tie bar was found wrapped in a personalized envelope from Colonel Parker's estate, which is included with the piece. This item, as with the entire Lost Jewelry Collection, has never been offered at auction or to the public. The piece will come with a letter from Ms. Priscilla Presley who has served as an expert consultant on this collection. Measurements: 2" x 0.35".
