| Two years ago I found this pearl in a clam that I opened at my home. I got the clam at a quahog bed that my family has been fishing for years. Clamming has been a family tradition for generations and I have enjoyed it for all of my life. I was totally shocked when the pearl fell out as after all these years I had only heard of quahog pearls through family stories. It seems my grandmother found a tiny one about 60 years ago .My wife and I loved the beautiful purple color and luster so I brought it to a local jeweler and had it set in a ring as a Christmas gift for my wife.
