MEMPHIS MAFIA

The collection includes a selection of TCB (Taking Care of Business) and TLC (Tender Loving Care) necklaces. The necklaces were designed by the Beverly Hills jewelers Schwartz & Ableser and were given to members of the Memphis Mafia and their spouses, Elvis’ family and close friends as gifts.

The collection includes two 14 K gold TCB necklaces and two TLC necklaces, and one gold version with diamonds.

The Star of David Watch, one of only thirty-three made. Elvis (with Marty Lacker) personally designed this timepiece. The Star of David reemerges each twenty seconds as a crucifix. The idea was to unite both the ‘Gentile’ and Jewish friends of Elvis.
