Quahog Clam Pearls

A couple months ago my dad was eating clams and while eating one he bit into something hard. He was about to throw it away but he realized it was a pearl. It is not very big but it is perfectly oval shaped without blemishes. It is darker purple at one end and lightness towards the other end. He has since then put it into a 14k gold ring. Last week my dad was once again eating clams and once again he bit into a pearl. This one is a bit smaller and rounder and like the other one is a deeper dark purple in one end and lighter at the other. We have not been able to appraise these pearls but would appreciate any information. Or if anyone is interested in purchasing them send a message.
