King's Gold Diamond Ring For Sale

Published on 20/03/09

Lovers of gold diamond rings have the chance to bag a piece of pop history this month.

An auction selling items which belonged to Elvis Pressley is now underway.

The online sale includes a gem-encrusted gold owl ring, a blue jumpsuit and the king's trademark shades.

Peter Siegel, of online auctioneers Gotta Have It!, commented that the pop star's appeal will ensure that the item's are popular.

He said that not only did Elvis have a "huge following" in his heyday, but he still enjoys a loyal fanbase.

Mr Siegel added: "He was larger than life. Today, there are children that are just totally enamoured by him and kids dress like him still for Halloween."

If Elvis is not your thing, but jewel-encrusted items must definitely are, you may be interested to hear that the Pearl Carpet of Baroda sold at auction yesterday (March 19th) for almost $5.5 million (£3.8 million).
