The woman lost the ring in California's Bass Lake near Yosemite National Park. She said she was devastated when she thought it wouldn't be recovered.
Michael Pelley calls diving his"full time hobby," and for some his hobby has turned devastation into happiness.
When Jennie's child started to drift away from her she swam in that direction and felt her ring move on her finger, Pelley said.

His deepest before then was around 30-35 feet in the American River around Sacramento, he said.
"I couldn't really believe I was looking at a diamond ring at first because I could have sworn it was just going to be another bottle top," he said."So, after I realized what I was looking at I blew up with excitement!" Once he made it back to the surface, Pelley was greeted with blue skies and cheers."Oh my god!" someone was heard shouting. Jennie appeared very emotional when she was able to put the priceless ring back on again. Pelley also found a mobile phone while he was at the bottom of the lake, that he hopes to be able to return to the owner.
