How to drop a hint about the jewellery you want this Christmas (without being obvious)
There’s always that one gift you secretly hope to find waiting under the Christmas tree. Maybe it’s a pair of sparkling gemstone earrings you’ve admired for weeks, a necklace you can already picture wearing every day, or that special piece of jewellery you keep coming back to.
From subtle suggestions to hints that are a little harder to miss, here are a few clever ways to make your Christmas wish come true.
The easiest way to hint at the jewellery you want is to let someone else do it for you. Every piece on the Minka Jewels website has a Drop a Hint button. Add your partner's email and we'll send them a discreet note with the piece you love. No awkward conversations, no screenshots left open on the laptop.
How does the Minka Drop a Hint button work?
- Find the piece you'd love on https://minkajewels.com/
- Click Drop a Hint under the price.
- Add your partner's name and email, and a note if you like.
- They receive an email with a photo of the piece and a link to buy it.
You can send hints for as many pieces as you like, and your identity will remain anonymous.
Other ways to drop a hint
- Tell a friend. Choose the one most likely to be asked for help. Be specific: the piece, the stone, the metal.
- Save it somewhere they'll look. A shared notes app, or a wish list on a shared screen.
- Admire it out loud. Say something specific about a piece you see in a window or on someone else, so they remember the stone and style.
- Leave a ring behind. If you're hoping for a ring, leave one that fits the right finger somewhere it can be "borrowed" for sizing.
Is it safer to hint for earrings or a necklace than a ring?
Often, yes. Earrings and necklaces don't need sizing, so there's no risk of a ring that doesn't fit. They're also the pieces I find people wear every day.

What if they're hinting at an engagement ring?
If the hint was for an engagement ring, book a consultation and we'll help you choose, even without knowing her size.
Bespoke rings take 6–7 weeks to create, so if you're hoping for something special this Christmas, please get in touch as soon as possible.
