Elvis Presley Signature ID Bracelet Remains Unsold


One of the most personal pieces of Elvis Presley’s jewelry which he wore well over ten years. This bracelet was gifted to Elvis Presley in 1963 and is inscribed and dated on the back.


He wore it professionally, documented in numerous televised and film appearances. Elvis is seen wearing the bracelet on stage during his 1969 Las Vegas comeback engagement at the International Hilton Hotel and in countless concert tour appearances thereafter. It was worn in his televised “Aloha from Hawaii” special in 1973, and in his film “Elvis, That’s The Way It Is”. In later years Elvis often wore this bracelet paired with his “Crazy” tube bracelet.


Personally, Elvis is seen wearing this bracelet in formal family photo shoots and in multiple candid off stage photos of his private life.


This bracelet was gifted by Elvis to his future fiancĂ©e, Ginger Alden, and placed on her wrist during a flight to Las Vegas inside of his private jet in 1976. Elvis then told Ginger “Now everyone will know you belong to me”. This signature piece is a 14k yellow gold large link identification bracelet with the name “Elvis” spelled out in forty-eight diamonds. It comes with a letter of authenticity from Ginger Alden.


The estimate was: $400,000 - $500,000.
