Couple Find Pearl in Clam and Turn It Into Ring

Sandy Sikorski and Ken Steinkamp were having a delicious meal at a seafood restaurant in Rhode Island when Sikorski bit into something strange. She chomped down on a rare Mercenaria pearl buried in the clam she ate. The chances of finding one is roughly one in one million. They took the pearl to a jeweler who crafted it into a gorgeous engagement ring. Now, the bride and groom's big day has finally arrived and Inside Edition got a front row seat.

“Pearl in the clam” 😂

[@jameswick8358]

Damn, I thought I was the only one that caught that😂

[@4and20blackbirdsbakedinapi6]

Actually, clams and mussels can yield pearls, although very rare.

[@jameswick8358]

@@4and20blackbirdsbakedinapi6 I’ve never seen a pearl and a clam that wasn’t artificially put there. They can grow pearls and clams and oysters and muscles, but they have to inseminate the clam with piece of calcium or something that they put in there that makes the clams start producing just like an oyster.
