A sharp upper bound on the first ${{S}^{1}}$ invariant eigenvalue of the Laplacian for ${{S}^{1}}$ invariant metrics on ${{S}^{2}}$ is used to find obstructions to the existence of ${{S}^{1}}$ equivariant isometric embeddings of such metrics in ( ${{\mathbb{R}}^{3}}$ , can). As a corollary we prove: If the first four distinct eigenvalues have even multiplicities then the metric cannot be equivariantly, isometrically embedded in ( ${{\mathbb{R}}^{3}}$ , can). This leads to generalizations of some classical results in the theory of surfaces.
