Kim Low was out boating with family near the Raffles on the Swan River at around 11.30am, when she climbed onto a sea biscuit.
After a few minute of being towed behind the boat, Ms Low noticed the water had begun to change.
"I was on the sea biscuit and the waves were getting quite intense," she said.
"At one point I was thrown from the biscuit, and my hand flew up and hit me in the face.
"My ring flew off and I knew what had happened."
Ms Low was injured in the accident, and was left bleeding on her face from where her hand had smacked her.
But she said the most distressing thing was losing her priceless engagement ring.
"We've looked for a while," she said.
"There's a heap of action coming through here to stir up the waves, but it's solid gold so you think it would have just sunk."

To add insult to injury, Ms Low was climbing back onto her boat after the accident when she noticed her fianc??'s engagement ring had slipped off her other hand.
"It's gotten too small for him now so I wear it - it's a men's ring with one diamond in the middle, gold band and a black setting."
Ms Low said her ring was recognisable due to how chunky it was.
"It's around a two and a half carat diamond, with a real gold plating, six diamonds on each side with a larger diamond in the middle- the clarity is perfect, it's a flawless diamond. The wedding band is at home."
Ms Low is offering a reward for the ring, and was grateful for any help.
Ms Low's story comes just a month after a Perth woman lost her eternity ring off Rottnest Island.
Perth's own Ring Finder Sean Boddie was soon on the case, and managed to find the ring wedged in a reef off Parker Point beach.
