Elvis Presley's Diamond Star Ring $100,000??? #ElvisPresley #ElvisRing #ElvisGifts #DonnaLewis

It sparkled like a star—but it meant even more.

On July 24, 1975, during a concert at the Civic Center in Asheville, North Carolina, Elvis Presley took a diamond ring from his finger and gifted it—publicly, deliberately—to longtime friend Donna Lewis.

This wasn’t a throwaway moment. It was a moment of recognition. Donna had known Elvis since the early 1960s, and their families shared memories from the Circle G Ranch days. This exquisite 14-karat white gold ring—set with 50 full-cut round diamonds totaling 6 carats—wasn’t just a piece of jewelry. It was a message: “I remember. You matter.”

Donna kept the ring for over 40 years before auctioning it in 2018, when it sold for $100,000.

In this episode of Hillbilly Cat History: Rare Facts, we explore the deeper meaning behind one of Elvis’s most stunning stage-worn gifts and the woman who received it.
