Racquel Chevremont Reveals Engagement Ring from Fiancée Mel

Racquel recounted the proposal, which took place during a Ducati motorcycle rally. She shared the story, saying, “So we got off. We park all the bikes. And then everyone takes photos. And I didn’t realize that everyone was staying away from us. And she stands there and she starts telling me how much she loves the kids. And I was like, ‘Shhh, OK OK, I get it. I know you love the kids but we’ve got to take this picture.’ And then suddenly she goes to pull out a ring, and I was like, ‘Are you f-cking kidding me?’ That was the first thing out of my mouth.”

When Racquel showed off the impressive ring to Brynn, she humorously described it as “this whole situation,” but assured designer Rebecca Minkoff that she wears it every day.

In her confessional, Racquel described the intricate design of her ring: “It’s like black diamonds, white diamonds, cognac diamonds, and you know, it’s very me.” She added, “It’s an art piece on my hand.” The ring perfectly reflects Racquel’s artistic background, as she is a “seasoned model” and “esteemed art curator with more than 20 years of experience,” according to her Bravo bio.

A Ring as Unique as Its Owner

Racquel and Mel recently attended InStyle’s 30th Birthday Celebration at The Standard Hotel in New York City, where they showcased their style and chemistry. “She’s very eccentric in her clothes and things,” Ubah Hassan observed in her confessional. “I don’t see her with a little tiny engagement ring like the rest of us, you know what I mean?”

Jessel Taank, for her part, was stunned by the unique ring. She joked in her confessional, “If Pavit gave me that… I would think it was a hoax.”

During their time in Sag Harbor, Racquel also shared more about her fiancée with the other Housewives, describing Mel as a forensic neuropsychologist. The couple’s love story goes back over 12 years, as they were close friends long before they decided to take their relationship to the next level, a fact Racquel revealed in the Season 15 premiere.

With her dazzling engagement ring and a story full of surprises, Racquel Chevremont is sure to bring plenty of style and intrigue to RHONY Season 15.
