Sandy Sikorski and her boyfriend Ken Steinkamp were dining at a restaurant in Westerly, Rhode Island in December of 2021. Sandy ordered clams and was enjoying her meal until she bit down on something very hard. At first she thought it was a tooth. She soon realized it was probably a pearl. Sandy's suspicion was later confirmed by a jewelry store. Ken and Sandy agreed that if they ever decided to get married they would make the pearl into an engagement ring. On July 8th Ken did propose to Sandy with an engagement ring made with the 9.8 millimeter pearl.
