That&#8217;s the question being asked by asked by American scuba diver <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/daniel.roark.505?fref=photo\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Daniel Roark<\/a> who found the ring while diving in Playa Reef, Mexico.<\/p>\n<p>Inside was an engraving that piqued his curiosity and he immediately decided to put a callout on Facebook in the hopes that his quest would go viral and, ultimately, find the ring&#8217;s owner, a bride named Jessica.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Ok, so while scuba diving around Playa Reef, Playa Del Carmen last week, I happened to find this ring&#8230;,&#8221; says Daniel on his Facebook page.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;m quite certain it is a wedding band, because engraved inside is &#8220;JESSICA 16 02 13 TYYJCEM&#8221;.
