How do I [25F] tell my husband [28M] to stop buying me jewellery

How do I tell my husband to please stop getting me jewellery, without sounding like I don't like the jewellery he got me before?

"Steve, I really like the jewelry I have but I don't need or want more. Please do not buy me any more jewelry"

Also, remember a gift doesn't need to be a THING. My wife and I realized we were accumulating so much just stuff. tons of useless crap that we at one point thought was cool. Our gifts to eachother now focus much more on activities we can do together. for my birthday we are going camping and going to visit the Angry Orchard Brewery which is in the area. She bought the campsite (like $50, big woop) and will probably buy any tastings at angry orchard. But I get a sweet weekend camping with my wife and get to drink my favorite hard cider! And I wont have another THING sitting around my apartment that i'll never touch for the rest of my life. I'll have a memory that will last a lifetime.

I've only been married a year, but I've been with her for over 10 years. Gifts have evolved, and they should evolve. I don't want to buy her stuff and things for the rest of her life. I want her to have fun experiences and I want to do them with her. She had the same necklace since highschool (which I gave her) until last Christmas I finally decided to replace it and "upgrade" it. It will be many years before I buy her more jewelry. We both focus on experiences now. Christmas I a great time this works too. Instead of each person spending, I don't know, $100 on the other person...you both collectively spend $200 on a mini vacation to spend together.

This requires communication, lots of it. Gifts are worked out together and we usually know what we're getting. And on the rare occasion I do get her a THING its a huge surprise because she didn't know what was coming.
