Lot 7: Elvis Presley "EP" Heart Anklet Given to Ginger Alden
ITEM DESCRIPTION
|
||||||||||||
In the last months before his death, the magnanomous Elvis lavished gifts on his fiancee Ginger Alden, the most heartfelt of which was this untypically simple and unadorned 24K gold anklet with 2 merged hearts, one bearing an E" and the other a "P" against a open back. Each heart is 1/2" tall and mounted to one end of the attached gold chain. No Buick-sized diamonds or red, white and blue eagle engravings here, only a clean, stunning gold "love me tender" token that revealed the sentimental side of the big lug -- not something seen very often in the more opulent Elvis memorabilia. NRMT and haunting. The fact that they are his initials gives it great importance fitted with added provenance with LOA from Ginger Alden. .
