Elvis Presley Gifted Lion Claw Necklace (1970s). The King of Rock and Roll gave this claw from the king of beasts to his longtime optician Dennis Roberts, who personally designed and made all of Elvis' eyeglasses during the 1970s. The unusual jewelry consists of a claw measuring approximately 1" wide by 1.5" from the top (base of the claw) to the tip, suspended on a gold chain necklace beneath a tiny carved full-figure lion. Photos of Elvis from the period show him proudly wearing similar necklaces. The necklace measure approximately 15.5" long. COA from Dennis Roberts. From the Oshei Family Collection.
