Does anyone knows how many horseshoe rings Elvis had?
I know DJ Fontana has one of them that Elvis gave him, and could it be he gave another one for a tv contest prize?

I think he was wearing one as early as '56. I'm sure he was buying his first one when Alf Wertheimer walked in and met him for the first time. there are photos in his book-Elvis at 21-of Elvis with the jewellary salesman.

The ones they are wearing at their wedding appear to be white gold or platinum. Does anyone have some info on those? (I was thinking they had something to do with the Circle G but I don't recall seeing that G in the middle of it from the photos.)

I have always loved horseshoe rings myself. I am not a big horse person or anything but even before I got into Elvis I always thought it was just such a visually appealing symbol.

Of course we can't forget the one from Aloha, or another large one her wore later.

The first one I picture him wearing is one he got in '56, I believe, that had the horse's head in it.
