The Real Housewives of Orange County Season 18 reunion looks dropped on October 24, and when Gina Kirschenheiter later shared a close-up look at her jewelry for the dramatic sit-down, she had many fans questioning the giant diamond ring on that finger.

So, did Gina just subtly announce she's engaged to Travis Mullen? Allow her to explain. 

"In all reality, I just feel like if a girl has an opportunity to wear a 10-carat ring, you take the opportunity," Gina told The Daily Dish on October 30. "I am very much not engaged. I didn't think about it. It fit on my ring finger."

While the thought didn't initially cross Gina's mind, Tamra Judge immediately had questions when she saw Gina's jewelry. 

"When we were walking out and we first sat down on the couch at the reunion, Tamra literally, like, almost jumped out of her chair," Gina said. "I was like, 'What? What?' and she was like, 'Oh my god, are you engaged?'"

To avoid confusion, Gina quickly moved the "insane" ring to her right hand.

"On the reunion, you'll see it on that other hand," she said. "To me, I was like, 'Oh, I put it on my right hand, that confusion won't happen.' But I forgot that when I took all of those photos it was still on my left hand." 

Details on Gina Kirschenheiter's RHOC Season 18 Reunion Jewelry and Outfit 

Ahead of the reunion, we got all the fashionable details of Gina's sizzling look, which included a sparkly gold cowl neck minidress by Alex Perry, platform orange ombré heels via Tom Ford, and hair and makeup by Olivia Rose. As you can see in the third photo in the above post, Gina also paired her look with glowing amber-colored nails that gave a similar ombré effect as her heels (one word: stunning). 

Moreover, Gina credited Jennifer Karimi for her stunning jewels, including the aforementioned non-engagement ring plus more rings on her other finger and several gorgeous necklaces.
