Here are some ways you can do your bit to help, like dropping hints such as the ones below:

• Whenever you come across something you like, tell your guy what you like about it. “I really like how yellow gold complements my skin tone.”
• Get a card from the jewelry store where you saw something you liked and write the style number on the backside. Make sure your man sees the card somehow, like by leaving it on your desk. When he picks it up, he’ll think he hit pay dirt!
• Tell him you really like Jane Doe’s jewelry designs and anything fromany of her collections would be a dream come true, as her designs match your personal style to a T.
• Find a jeweler/designer that will keep a wish list for you, and make sure your significant other knows of this person, so he can go straight to him or her when it’s time to get you that perfect gift.
• Have your favorite jeweler/designer remind your man ahead of time that your birthday is coming up, so they can offer him gift ideas from your wish list!
• Since men often go to your best friends for help with gift ideas, make sure these key people know your style and wish list.
• Many guys shy away from jewelry store windows because of the price tags, so be sure to ease the blow by outlining several options in different price ranges. If you love it and he can afford it—everyone’s happy!
• When you are out and about at art/jewelry shows or just shopping, stop at a window and point directly to what you like!
• Communicate your style in terms he’ll grasp, such as “classic,” “modern,” or “flashy.”
• You can suggest having something custom made for you, or hint at designing something together to make it a fun project.
• What you don’t like is as important as what you do like, so be sure to point out items you don’t like and express your distaste for them, so he can snap a mental picture.

One more tip: Don’t drop hints during televised sporting events, poker nights, or while he’s otherwise distracted. The communication channels may not be open in your favor; in other words, he’ll be totally tuned out.

May you find yourself bejeweled in your favorites soon!
