About RamonaRamona Singer is an astute businesswoman and a true aficionado of fashion with a passion for being a wife and mother. In addition to her role on BRAVO's The Real Housewives of New York City, Ramona has taken the beauty and accessory industries by storm.Ramona was born the eldest of four children in upstate New York. She learned responsibility at a very young age and wanted to have a career in business combined with fashion. She graduated from the Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City, with a B.S. Degree in Business. |
Her businesses include Tru Renewal skin care, True Faith Jewelry, Ramona Singer Collections on Amazon and most notably, Ramona Singer Jewelry for HSN. Her line of pendants, bracelets, earrings and rings, priced $200 and up, was inspired by her love for estate and art deco, which she says she adores because it is timeless. "I don't want a trendy piece of jewelry to hand down to my daughter Avery, because it will be out of style and she won't want to wear it,"
Singer notes. "Estate jewelry will always be in style, and women will always wear it."
Having conquered the design world, Ramona was inspired to create a skin care line, Tru Renewal, after struggling to find products she herself could use that were effective, yet free of chemicals that could potentially harm and irritate her skin. Singer worked with a world-renowned chemist and a top New York City doctor to create her line. The key ingredient to garner skin-firming results is green algae. "After using the products for just 6 weeks, all of my friends noticed a difference in my appearance. My skin looks and feels healthier; it really is more vibrant and glowing!"
Her entrepreneurial skills have received praise from media industry giants such as Women's Wear Daily, FoxBusiness, People, and Examiner to name a few. Ramona's newest venture has her expanding to the wine world with Ramona Pinot Grigio. Ramona was constantly asked by fans what her favorite Pinot Grigio was and not being able to name one that she loved inside and out, she decided to create one. Ramona Pinot Grigio is a 100% Pinot Grigio from Veneto, Italy. The wine undergoes a long, cold fermentation in stainless steel to fully extract the fragrant aromas and preserve the clean, pure character of the grapes and other flavors, without the artificial influences of oak aging. The palate includes notes of fresh fruit with a hint of citrus and mineral.
Ramona lives and works in Manhattan with her husband Mario and their daughter Avery. After 19 years of marriage and going strong, Ramona and Mario's relationship is as beautiful as ever. The two truly are best friends and confidants and share the greatest luxury of being parents to Avery. Ramona very much enjoys playing tennis, dancing and spending all the time she can with her family and their dog Coco in the Hamptons.
