Est. $1,000-$1,500 Elvis Presley's Personally Owned Cufflinks Given to Personal Barber Homer Gilleland W/Letter of Provenance - These cufflinks were personally owned by Elvis Presley before he gave them to his long time personal barber Homer Gilleland. The cufflinks have a gold tone, wrap over design and are decorated in the center with dark green nephrite. They will be accompanied by a typeset letter of provenance signed by Homer Gilleland and dated '4-17-91', which states that the cufflinks were given to Elvis by a fan and that Elvis, not wanting to lose his good jewelry during a concert, "wore these often instead." Homer Gilleland was Elvis' personal barber for over 20 years preceding his death, and was even given a credit card so he could travel anywhere in the world if Elvis needed a color touch up or trim.
