Elvis Presley Personally Owned Solid 14K Yellow Gold & Blue Enamel TCB Necklace W/LOA & Photographs - This remarkable piece is a solid 14k yellow gold TCB necklace, in a rare form with blue enamel, which was gifted to Elvis Presley for Christmas in 1971 by optician to the stars, Dennis Roberts. The necklace features the iconic "taking care of business in a flash" TCB lightening bolt logo hanging from a rope chain, similar to the TCB necklaces ordered by Elvis in October, 1970 to give to the Memphis Mafia members as a sign of being part of his inner circle, which were made by Schwartz & Ableser. Unlike the other TCB necklaces, which were solid gold, this necklace is embellished with royal blue enamel on the lettering. The necklace comes with a letter of provenance from Dennis Roberts which includes a photo of Elvis, Dee Presley, and Roberts, which states "Elvis Presley wearing the 'TCB' necklace that I designed and made for him for his Christmas present in 1971." Dennis Roberts created glasses for iconic stars such as Elton John, Steve McQueen, Sammy Davis Jr. and the Beatles, and created over 400 pairs of custom EP and TCB glasses for Elvis along with TCB and TLC necklaces during the 1970s. Unlike the TCB necklace that Elvis had made as gifts, this piece was worn by the King on several occasions. The lot will include several reference photographs. Measurements: pendant-2.5"L x 1"W, chain-30"L. (WEIGHT: 32.8 grams)
