 Within
the hallowed halls of Graceland are
the dimly lit trophy rooms, kept near
freezing to preserve the "King's"
sacred artifacts : awards, gold records,
oil paintings and jewelled costumes.
The highlight, one would argue, is
the Gold belt awarded to Elvis
Presley in 1969 by The management
of the Nevada
International Hotel for his
record shattering attendance achievements
for a 29-day series of sold out performances
in front
of 2,000 people per show, two shows
a night. Ticket receipts alone had brought in more than $1,5 million. Elvis was wearing the belt when he was famously photographed meeting President Richard M. Nixon on December 18, 1970. After exchanging gifts, Nixon, couldn’t restrain himself any longer and finally made a comment to The King about his less than conservative choice of attire for a meeting with the President of the United States. “Well, Mr. President,” Elvis is said to have replied, “you’ve got your gig, and I’ve got mine.” 'Groovy!'

 The
original buckle was cast in silver, gold plated and
studded with diamonds, sapphires and rubies. The
version we recreated was cast in Sterling Silver then gilded
with gold. Financial constraints prevented the use of real
gems .
