White sapphire engagement ring

EDITOR'S REVIEW

This whimsical white sapphire engagement ring by US-based Cathy Waterman is a dreamy - and more budget-friendly - alternative to a white diamond solitaire. The band, in Waterman's signature 22 karat gold, is carved to resemble a branch, with diamonds set into the knots of the wood, while the emerald-cut sapphire sits horizontally on the finger - known as an east-west setting - for a further twist on tradition.
