Overview

• In Softly, As I Leave You: Life After Elvis, Presley writes that a fight on Cage’s yacht off Catalina Island ended with him tossing Lisa Marie Presley’s six-carat, $65,000 engagement ring overboard.
• She says Cage sent divers to search the area but the ring was not recovered and remains lost at sea to her knowledge.
• According to the memoir, Cage bought a larger ten-carat replacement two days later and the couple re‑engaged.
• Presley characterizes their early-2000s relationship as volatile, noting frequent breakups and reconciliations before a wedding in Hawaii on Aug. 10, 2002 and a divorce filing three months later, finalized in 2004.
• Multiple outlets report that Cage’s representatives did not respond to requests for comment, and the account has not been independently corroborated; Lisa Marie Presley died in 2023 at age 54.
