TRAUB BROTHERS & CO

The firm of Traub Brothers & Co, producers of fine jewellery and silverplate, was founded in Detroit, Michigan in the 1860s by Christian and John F. Traub.  They continued to sell high quality luxury goods, including watches, through the 1970s, when they were purchased by Josten's Inc.  Traub is particularly known for their Orange Blossom line of engagement rings and wedding bands, the designs often featuring the flower.  Orange blossoms are a symbol of purity, and were worn by Queen Victoria at her wedding in 1840.
