14K Yellow Gold Wedding Band circa 1920s

Plain gold wedding bands symbolize eternal, unbroken love, originating over 4,000 years ago in Ancient Egypt with braided reeds, later adopted by Romans who preferred durable, valuable gold. Worn on the left hand's "vena amoris" (vein of love), they signify commitment, with the simple design enduring through Christian, Medieval, and modern traditions. 

This band is made out of 14K Yellow gold and has a sweet inscription of the original owners and the manufacturer's trademark. It is marked 14K / L.S. / E.G. - R.B. 1/7/24

L.S. & Co. (or L.S.): A manufacturer/wholesaler of jewelry, chains, and watch bracelets that was active in the early 20th century, with records extending into the 1920s and 1950s.

What a great piece of history - this ring was manufactured and commemorates a year when J. Edgar Hoover was appointed director of the Bureau of Investigation (later the FBI). Imagine the history that this ring must have seen.
