Elvis Presley Owned and Worn 14kt Gold "EP" Diamond Star of David Ring.
Elvis Presley owned and wore this 14kt gold and diamond ring with his initials "EP" a Star of David and a Cross. The large nugget-style large ring was a particular favorite of Elvis'. Elvis has Jewish heritage as his maternal great-great grandmother, Nancy Burdine, was Jewish. Elvis' mother was Burdine's great-granddaughter. In 2018 Elvis' mother's headstone was taken out of storage and put on display at Graceland. Elvis had designed the headshot, and the cross is on the upper right-hand corner and the star of David is on the left upper hand corner During the later year of Elvis' life, he would often wear a chai, a cross and a Star of David necklace both on and off-stage. From the stage Elvis would joke about wearing all three necklaces saying, "I don't want to miss out on heaven on a technicality."
This large, stunning ring has Elvis' initials "EP" in diamonds and in the upper right corner a diamond studded Star of David with a large diamond in the center of it. In the lower left bottom of the face of the ring is a diamond studded cross, reminiscent of the headstone Elvis had designed for his mother.
