'Real Housewife' Ramona is a Real GEM
By GALTime.com Style Expert JenéLuciani
Love her or hate her (I, personally love her), Ramona Singer is definitely one of (if not THE) most talked about Housewives on the popular Bravo show The Real Housewives of New York City. But when she's not hanging with the ladies, she's hard at work on her business endeavors, which include a jewelry line for HSN and a skincare line called Tru Renewal.
I got the scoop on Ramona's fabulous AND affordable estate-inspired jewelry line, which is available on HSN.com.
Tell me how you got inspired to start your line… What inspires the designs?
When setting out to do my first collection for HSN more than a year ago, I really wanted to incorporate my love for estate and art deco. I had some really lovely pieces from [my husband] Mario that I've collected and that was my first inspiration. The designs are all pieces that I would hand down to my daughter, Avery. These pieces are timeless and she isn't going to want a trendy piece of jewelry when she's older because it won't be in style. Estate jewelry will always be in style and women will always want to wear it.
You have such vibrant stones and a beautiful mixture of metals, such as rose gold… and it seems on-trend, yet classic at the same time. How does your jewelry line relate to your own personal style?
Personally, I like to dress in trendy clothing that's sophisticated and classic and still a little edgy. I might wear something really basic, but it will be in a bright color. Each season when I choose colors for the gemstones and metals, I am paying attention to the runway shows I attend and current color forecasting, but I always go with my gut and the colors that are inspirational to me.
The great thing about jewelry in bright colors or interesting shapes is you're more likely to wear it over and over again with lots of different looks. If you buy a trendy top or printed cocktail dress, you're much less likely to wear that more than a few times than say a Rose Vermeil Cuff Bracelet with Pink Amethysts, Rubies & Diamonds and a matching cocktail ring. I wear my rose gold cuff and bracelet all the time and it never seems to be enough!
