A mum who found a rare pearl inside a bowl of mussels at her birthday dinner has had it made into a "beautiful" piece of jewellery - completely free of charge. Paige Hawkins, 29, was given the perfect present after her partner discovered the pearl inside the dish they had ordered to share at a seafood restaurant. She had been dining at The Quayside, in Stourport, Worcs., with a large group of family and friends to celebrate her birthday in September.
