Elvis Presley Lion Claw Necklace Up For Auction, Expected to Fetch $500K

The Holy Grail of Elvis Presley jewelry is going up for grabs — it’s his iconic lion claw necklace, and some Elvis-crazed collector might have to drop half a million dollars, or more, to nab it at auction.

Elvis famously wore the lion claw around his neck for years, both on and off stage … including during some of his most memorable moments.

When Elvis met Muhammad Ali at the peak of the boxer’s prime, the lion necklace was dangling from the singer’s neck.

Ditto for a famous photo of Elvis celebrating his daughter Lisa Marie‘s 5th birthday with his wife Priscilla.

Elvis took the stage at least 30 times with the lion claw necklace too, on tour and during his Las Vegas residency … and he wore it during his post-Priscilla relationship with Linda Thompson.

The piece is bedazzled with diamonds and rubies … and it’s been on display for years at the Elvis Presley Museum, but now it’s going up for auction with Gotta Have Rock and Roll.

The lion claw’s prominence in Elvis history is why it’s expected to sell for at least $500K during the online auction, which runs Nov. 22 through Dec. 15 … thank ya very much!
