Pulse of Culture 05.08

This edition of Pulse of Culture is not to be missed, especially by Elvis Presley fans, as TVP World zooms in on a Californian auction house where more than 200 accessories are to be found which the “King of Rock and Roll” would often gift to others, and which are now being put under the hammer.

Gold rings set with jewels, cufflinks, watches and chains make up the unique collection of jewellery that Elvis Presley gave his manager Colonel Tom Parker. Thought to have been lost for more than 50 years, it is now returning to the light of day directly under the hammer of the GWS Auction House.
