COA of John Wilkinson (Elvis' rhythm guitar player in the TCB Band between 1969 and 1977). This beautiful 14K gold ring was one of Elvis Presley's stage rings. Elvis liked big shiny rings, just as much as he liked to give away his stage and private rings to his best friends and loyal co-workers, as a token of his appreciation for their work, their dedication and their friendship. Elvis gave John this gorgeous ring after one of the many concerts he and John did. John remembered very clearly that Elvis took the ring off the finger of his right hand and gave it to John: 'Here brother John. I want you to have this.'. . From the collection of Peter Verbruggen, international renowned collector who sadly passed away in March 2015.
