Most people alive today have heard of Elvis Presley. Statistics tell us that roughly half of every age demographic identify themselves as fans of the King of Rock and Roll. The older the person, the more likely they are to identify themselves as a fan. Yet, surprisingly, roughly half of the Generation Z group (18 –24-year-olds) identify themselves as Elvis fans.

More about Gen Z in a moment.

Part of the legend of Elvis is around the amazing amount of jewelry he purchased during his forty-two years of life. Although most of his jewelry purchases were for his own wearing pleasure, he also spent a fortune on jewelry for his friends and loved ones.

One such gift was her engagement and wedding band set for his only wife, Priscilla. It consisted of a 3.5 carat Diamond solitaire surrounded by elegant baguettes and other smaller, round diamonds. Only fuzzy photographs exist of the ring, so its exact design is unclear.

Back to Generation Z.

I was recently asked by one of my clients if I would design and create a ring loosely inspired by the fabled Priscilla Presley wedding ring. It was going to be a high school graduation gift for their daughter who is an Elvis Presley passionate fan! The result was a proportionally scaled down version of Priscilla’s ring.

This ring is full of symbolism. Obviously, the ring symbolizes not only the love between two famous people, and the hopes and dreams of matrimonial love. More importantly, the ring is now a real heirloom that represents the love between adoring parents and their Elvis-loving daughter.

This is what Brillante’s forever jewelry is all about: celebrating the stories of love, relationship and their connection to jewelry.
