How NOT to drop a hint & get the jewelry you want

Disclosure: I received the bracelet shown below in order to write this post. All opinions are strictly my own.

How NOT to drop a hint

I have been married almost 36 years to Mr. S, and while I adore him, I have to say that the man has a difficult time understanding my hints. Some people pick up subtle mentions, while others need a more direct approach.

Mr. S?

I wanted diamond stud earrings. For FIVE YEARS I ripped out pictures from magazines & tacked them on the refrigerator door. I circled pics and left them open on the coffee table. I dragged him to the earring counter at every jewelry store we walked by.

For 5 years

NOTHING. I got JADE earrings. I got a diamond & pearl necklace. I got a matching gold necklace and bracelet. BUT NO DIAMOND EARRINGS

I gave up

I know you can see what’s coming next. I got my earrings the year that I gave up trying to get him to buy them for me.

It had to be HIS idea

I could have done cartwheels while juggling the earrings, if it wasn’t HIS idea, then it wasn’t going to happen….sort of. You see I had planted the seed, but I dragged it out too long. One or two hints would have been perfect, not the 178 that I had left over the years.

Do you really want my opinion?

I’m sure you have had much better experiences dropping hints, but what I’m VERY good at is finding amazing gifts. I’ve wanted a tennis bracelet for a VERY long time, but finding the perfect one has always been an issue for me. I’m short, so larger stones overwhelm and even real diamonds look fake on me. My wrists are extremely small, and stock jewelry in the store never fit.

I realized that the only way that I’d get the perfect bracelet is by purchasing customizable jewelry. That’s when I found Anjolee. All of their jewelry can be customized on Anjolee.com according to preference of metal type, diamond size, diamond/gemstone quality, and length/size.
