Many couples plan for months to design their engagement rings. They choose specific designs, shapes, and so much more. However, for one couple, their rare and truly special engagement ring came from inside a clam that they were enjoying at a restaurant!
How did the couple find the pearl?
Sandy Sikorski and Ken Steinkamp have been going to The Bridge Restaurant and Raw Bar in downtown Westerly, Rhode Island on a regular basis for the past four years. As the restaurant overlooks Pawcatuck River, it has a variety of seafood to offer, reports Fox 8. So, when SSikorski and Steinkamp ordered a plate of clams, they were in for a huge surprise. As the couple was enjoying their food, they suddenly spotted a rare mercinaria 9.5mm oval pearl in one of the clams. They later turned this pearl into their engagement ring.
