[📸PHOTO STORY⚡] A couple of "first-times" — Elvis and Alfred Wertheimer, 1956

On the next two pictures, on March 17, 1956, Elvis seeing in his "argyle socks, shantung pants and jacket, black shirt, freshly combed slick brown hair and a sneer" at CBS Television Studio 50. This was the moment Alfred was first introduced to EP (photo taken by him). By Alfred Wertheimer's accounts, to him, Elvis "didn't look much like a star, more like just another backstage guy'.

At the moment this picture was taken, Mr. Wertheimer said "a balding jewelry salesman (seen sitting beside Elvis) was handing him a diamond ring that could have been seen from the back row of Carnegie Hall. Elvis pulled his feet off the table, leaned on the back of another chair, and in a soft low voice with a mild Southern accent, said simply, 'Hi.' He returned his examination of the ring, a diamond-studded horseshoe around a gold horse's head. I took my place behind the camera. The salesman closed the deal."

Excerpt from "Elvis '56 In The Beginning" by Alfred Wertheimer.

This was a 14k gold ring that belonged to Elvis Presley early in his career. Designed in the shape of a horseshoe with fourteen single-cut diamonds around the surface while a horse head adorns the middle, this ring was worn pretty frequently by the King for a number of years.

Those March 1956 pictures show the purchase of one of Elvis' first most easily relatable diamond jewelry pieces and Alfred Wertheimer's first, of what would become exclusive, unique and legendary, shots of the King of Rock and Roll.

ADDITIONAL INFO On Elvis' horseshoe rings:

EP is known for giving away his own things as quick as the thought, so he gave some of his own horseshoe rings away and ordered new ones. As the years passed and EP's love for horses grew, more rings would be made on the same theme, even by his private jeweler Lowell Hays - and by the way Elvis and Priscilla owned matching horseshoe rings in the 60s.This picture below shows EP and Priscilla wearing matching horseshoe diamond rings - Elvis' is not the same ring bought in 1956, it's a different one. Elvis and Priscilla were wearing those horseshoe matching rings on their wedding day in May 1, 1967.

If Elvis liked the “Good-Luck” idea behind this famous symbol, possibly... specially by the beginning of his career when it would come to great use. EP's jewelry contained themes and selected precious stones, full of meaning and grace. As he grew older he came to study astrology and numerology, and would even know the meaning of 'birth stones' and he would use this to chose and gift his loved ones with beautiful exclusively-made jewelry pieces with their own birth stones on it at times; besides Elvis was a believer... in God above anything else, but even tho he was a Christian man, he didn't deny anything was possible, so harmless mysticism was welcomed in his mind as well. With this said, it's not hard to believe Elvis indeed chose the horseshoe ring for a reason. But either the case, the man didn't need any help from lady luck.🍀

On Alfred Wertheimer's background story:

In March 1956, Alfred Wertheimer was hired by Anne Fulchino, publicist for the Pop Record Division of RCA Victor, to photograph Elvis. Here's Anne with EP:
