Original 14k Gold TCB Necklace Elvis Presley Entourage 1974 from Private Estate

Original 14k Gold TCB Necklace Elvis Entourage in 1974 from Private Estate.

Weight: 17.6 grams
Marked 14K on the back of the necklace. The chain is attached and is the original connection, the way the necklace was designed and made. It has not been altered in any way.

The necklace is marked 14k on the back and the story of how my client got the necklace is as amazing as the necklace itself.
An excerpt from my clients document reliving her memory

"One day word went around the housekeeping department that Elvis Presley, who was
appearing at the resort would be using the service elevator at a certain time and we were to stay
off it for 1 hour before and 1 hour after. That meant loading our carts to be sure we didn’t need
to stop for a refill at that time. Sometime around that day, I was assigned to the hall where Elvis’
entourage was staying. I was counseled not to disturb any of the guests and not to go into the
suite at the end of the hall.
Most of the rooms had a Do Not Disturb tag on the doorknob but one room did not and the door
was slightly open. When I went to that room, a male guest there told me just to leave clean
towels. I went into the bathroom to get the used linen and replaced it with a clean stack. As I
was leaving, the guest held out his hand with something in it. I extended my hand and he
dangled a gold necklace and dropped it in. The necklace had a rope-like chain and the letters
TCB over a lightening bolt. With my head down, I said thank you, slipped it into my uniform
pocket and left. I packed the necklace into my gear and once back home in Baltimore I put it in
a jewelry box and didn’t think about it for years."
