They turned the pearl into an engagement ring.
The ring is a unique and special symbol of their love.

Sandy Sikorski and Ken Steinkamp, a couple who frequents The Bridge Restaurant and Raw Bar in downtown Westerly, Rhode Island, had a remarkable and unexpected experience during one of their visits.

While savoring a plate of clams, they stumbled upon a true gem—a rare 9.5mm oval mercinaria pearl inside one of the clams.

This extraordinary discovery inspired them to transform the precious pearl into an engagement ring, making it a unique and special symbol of their love.

In the last one, I found this mercinaria 9.5mm oval ‘pearl’- very rare! We had Black Orchid Jewelers make it into an engagement ring for us!” They also shared a picture of the ring.
