Elvis Fire Opal & Diamond Ring
You may not want to wear it around your neck, as Elvis once sang, but landing this magnificent Australian fire opal ring will definitely tell the world The King is yours -- by heck, just as it did after Elvis gave it to his fiancee, Ginger Alden, in 1976. Like the one of a kind man who ordered it to his rigorous specifications, the 10k solid gold ring is both flashy to the eye and subtly nuanced upon closer inspection. It features a crown -- literally, as the centerpiece is crafted in the shape of kingly headwear -- fashioned with 16 glittering diamond stones arrayed around a 1/2" precious opal stone, its silica particles packed in rows and layers which, when the ring is moved, causes the diffraction (or splitting) of light, causing a diffusion of iridescent flashes of green, aqua, and sometimes yellowish or red colors -- thus the term "fire opal." One, of course, could interpret this to be a totem of Elvis himself, a man of many moods, emotions and instincts, both creatively brilliant and terribly self-destructive -- all fiery. Giving it to Ginger, one suspects, meant he trusted her enough to see all of his many facets (and perhaps to control his fire). Then, too, opals are also endemic to the Southwestern Native American culture that Elvis loved, and also showed up in the stones of his sequined onstage outfits. Maybe only Elvis could have explained the true significance of the ring to him, and all we should do is simply stare at it. The centerpiece "crown" is snugly coddled into a U-shaped design with intricate gold grilling on each side, while the two shanks are crafted into a checkerboard pattern. The best part is that the ring is in stunningly good condition, its surface smooth and pristine, the colors vibrant and deep -- an overall grade of MINT is fitting in this instance. No Elvis item could possibly be in better condition. Measures to size 7.25, meaning that it was intended to be worn on his pinkie. Not just an Elvis ring but an absolutely unique Elvis love token for the woman who would have been Mrs. Presley. Ring comes with a LOA from Ginger Alden. Valued at $20,000 just as a piece of jewelry, let alone with its Kingly origin.
