During the final years of his life, Elvis was frequently photographed wearing necklaces with the Star of David and the Hebrew word chai, which means life. The chai necklace is kept in a cabinet at Graceland next to the keys to the singers famed 1955 pink Cadillac. Never one to be accused of subtlety, Elvis had the necklace designed with 17 diamonds. He purchased the jewelry in 1976, one year before he died.
