Custom-made 14k gold waist chain with "My Love, My Life" presented by Elvis to fiancee Ginger Alden in 1977. Elvis' personal jeweler, Lowell Hays, crafted this for the lovely Ginger Alden and pledged his ultimate love to her in this romantic piece of gold art. Interestingly Elvis had crafted a similar waist chain for earlier girlfriend Linda Thompson, who was brought to Hays' Memphis store where it was welded to to her stomach as a permanent love symbol. These words were simply beautiful as anything written by Robert Burns. Chain measures 25", molded "My Love, My Life" amulet 3" wide, 1/2" tall. NRMT with butter smooth surface. Great Elvis romance lore.
