The Holy Grail of Elvis Presley<\/strong> <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n Elvis famously wore the lion claw around his neck for years, both on and off stage … including during some of his most memorable moments.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n When Elvis met Muhammad Ali<\/strong> at the peak of the boxer’s prime, the lion necklace was dangling from the singer’s neck.<\/p>\n Ditto for a famous photo of Elvis celebrating his daughter Lisa Marie<\/strong>‘s 5th birthday with his wife Priscilla<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 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<\/strong>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 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.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n 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!<\/p>\n
