I still think that the "owl ring" is some form of "marriage bond" between
the wearer and the giver, and that it is connected to the Black Lodge, thus
it is a symbol of the wearer having sold his/her soul to the Lodge, the
"forces of Darkness." Now, when the wearer is eventually ritualistically
murdered BOB places the ring in the circle as a form of sealing the pact.
Now, if I remember correctly, Leland (under the possession of BOB) was
angered at Laura's half locket, the heart which to me symbolizes a form
of "pure love." Now, Laura wearing this symbol as opposed to a symbol of
her giving herself to the Black Lodge angers BOB. When he ritualistically
murders her he sacrifices the half heart, yet being a symbol of "pure love,"
there is no pact with the darker forces. BOB and the Black Lodge inhabitants
lose out. Wasn't "love" one of the forces which open the gateways to the
Lodges, to the White Lodge?
