Elvis Presley’s ex-wife Priscilla poses with the treasure, which the singer gave to her manager, Colonel Tom Parker – ahead of them going up for auction.
The 200 items sold in Hollywood include rings and watches adorned with gems and the star played the guitar during his “Comeback” TV special in 1968.

Priscilla, 77, said of the newly found hoard: “It definitely brings back memories.”
She revealed that she supported the auction because she was concerned about the amount of counterfeit artworks that were circulating.
“There are so many products out there that aren’t authentic at all and that worries me,” she confessed.
“I want to know for sure whether it will go to someone who is going to take care of it, love it.”
Priscilla also revealed that she was protective of the objects as she designed some of them herself.
It includes artwork with the TCB band logo, the musicians who formed Presley’s backing rhythm section in his final years.
‘TCB’ stood for Presley’s favorite expression: “Take care of business.”
