The Making of the TCB Ring by Lowell Hays:
"Elvis asked me to make a stage ring; a big ring that would say Elvis to everyone who saw it. The first attempt to make it was in 1973. Elvis gave that ring away. The second attempt was the Aloha Ring, the one with the big horseshoe. He gave that ring to J.D. Sumner after the Hawaii concert. Elvis apologized to me for giving it away, but said it just wasn't exactly what he wanted. He asked me to work on a design using the lightning bolts and his TCB logo. We reviewed some sketches I did, and he liked them. I decided to make the ring out of wood. I carved it out of Balsa wood; I made the lightning bolts and glued them to the ring. Then I made the letters. I cut the onyx out of a piece of black plastic. Next, I glued stones to the lightning bolt, glued the letters with stones to the onyx, and a large center stone. Basically, I made the ring out of wood. He just couldn't believe his eyes when he saw it. 'I want it', he said and asked if I could have it ready by the next tour? I'll try was all I could say. I had the ring ready the day before we left on tour. I took it out to Graceland and sent word up to his room that I had it. 'Bring it up', he said. No, I want to show it to you at your dining room table, under this big chandelier. When he saw it he flipped out. He said even Liberace doesn't have a ring to equal this."

Giuliano TommasoneJune 3, 2023When you think of Elvis Presley you think of many things. Blue Suede shoes, jailhouse rock, Aloha From Hawaii, 68 Comeback Special, The hair, his voice, his charm, his charisma, the jumpsuits and huge collars/lapels but for me I think rings and extravagant/fancy jewelry and the TCB specifically comes into mind. Just like Elvis the TCB ring is extravagant, and fit for a king. Excellent quality and craftsmanship you can tell this is handmade they cut no corners with this. I wear this with pride along with the black star sapphire ring, Aloha From Hawaii horseshoe ring, and the last concert ring they are gorgeous and very high quality couldn't recommend enough for people are lifelong fans of Elvis Presley, cosplayers, impersonators, collectors, or people like me who just downright love his jewelry I couldn't be more happier with my purchase. God bless Elvis and Lowell Hays.

Just like the original!January 4, 2023I saw the original TCB ring when i visited Graceland back in October. It was behind glass at the museum and was the most beautiful ring i ever saw. And by chance while i was shopping here, i saw the same guy making the same ring here! So i ordered one. And i looks exactly like the one i saw in the museum! Exact same size, color, design, everything. I never had a ring so nice before in my life! I'm very pleased with it!

Norman ConlonMarch 18, 2022Mr. Lowell Hayes my review of your jewelry that you made for Elvis Presley is far greater than you even know it is the most beautiful set I have ever seen in my life and I would be proud and honored to own the TCB lightning bolt and the aloha from Hawaii ring my two favorite pieces but I’m trying to find a way to get them both and put them in the showcase showing Elvis Wearing those very rings
