Jewelry

Jewelry for women is about the small details that elevate an outfit and tell a story about who you are. At Dims Studio you'll find a colorful range of rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings from the Danish jewelry brand Goio Galore, all made from 925 sterling silver with 18 karat gold plating. Common to the pieces is a graphic visual language with symbols like eyes, hearts, snakes, moons and stars. In this guide you'll get an overview of the types, the material and the recurring motifs in our range.

Types of jewelry: rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings

Our jewelry range covers the four classic categories. Below you'll get an overview of what characterizes each type in our assortment.

Rings

Rings are the largest category in our range and span from symbolic designs to bold chain rings. Among the symbolic ones you'll find Rola and Om ring with an all-seeing eye and engraved Om symbol, Hamsa and Sana ring with a polished heart motif, as well as Paco and Gaja ring, both shaped like a snake where head and tail meet. Reala ring comes in several colors and is shaped like a hand with an eye at the center. For a more angular expression, Elstara, Amikeco and Gravita ring are built up with bold chain links, while Gasto, Ege and Aminda ring use wavy or faceted surfaces to catch the light. Several of the rings, such as Klera, Eterna, Glama and Fumado, are set with colored zirconia in shades like pink, purple, green and blue, if you're looking for colorful jewelry rather than clear stones.

Necklaces

The necklaces in our range build on pendants with either a symbolic or geometric expression. Aventurosa necklace has two fused chains with a moon and star, while Koro necklace has a heart-shaped pendant with engraved stars. Gemini necklace is double-sided and carries the Gemini zodiac sign, while Okulo and Fortika necklace both have a round pendant with a center stone surrounded by engraved stars or sunrays. If you want a more geometric expression, Forta, Batalo, Delikata and Destina necklace are built up of square or diamond-shaped links and pendants, while Tero necklace is the boldest with wide, square chain links.

Bracelets

Bracelets are a smaller but bold part of the range. Fidindajo bracelet combines freshwater pearls with raw chain links and has an adjustable length, while Atentigi bracelet is built up of eleven chain links in two sizes for a bolder expression on the wrist.

Earrings

The earrings span from discreet studs like Genua, Faciligi, Saturno, Pacema, Geologia and Evidenta to drop earrings like Glua, Aromega and Fruga, the hoop Aserto, and ear cuffs like Mirinda and Euforio, which don't require a hole in the ear.

Material: 925 sterling silver with 18 karat gold plating

All jewelry in our range from Goio Galore is made from the same base material: a core of 925 sterling silver, plated with a layer of genuine 18 karat gold. 925 means the metal consists of 92.5 percent pure silver alloyed with other metals, typically copper, to make it strong enough for everyday wear. The gold plating sits as a thin layer on top of the silver core, giving the jewelry its warm, golden finish without you paying the price of solid gold. Several of the rings and necklaces are also set with colored zirconia, adding a colorful element to the golden expression.

The gold plating can wear over time if exposed to perfume, sweat, hand cream and chlorinated water, so care is part of keeping the jewelry looking good for as long as possible.

How to care for your jewelry

• Remove the jewelry before bathing, swimming and exercising, where soap, chlorine and salt water wear on the gold plating the fastest.
• Avoid direct contact with perfume, hairspray, hand cream and other chemicals. Apply these before putting the jewelry on.
• Dry the jewelry with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove moisture and grease.
• Store it dry, ideally in a jewelry pouch or box, and separately from each other so they don't scratch one another.

Motifs and symbolism in the jewelry

A recurring feature in our range is that the jewelry often carries a symbol rather than being purely decorative. The snake recurs in Paco and Gaja ring, where head and tail meet in a symbol of eternity. The all-seeing eye is found in Rola ring and in Reala ring in several color versions, while Om ring carries the spiritual Om symbol, often associated with calm and reflection. The heart appears in both Hamsa and Sana ring as well as in Koro necklace's heart-shaped pendant, and moon and star motifs recur in both Aventurosa necklace and the earrings Glua and Aromega. Gemini necklace represents the Gemini zodiac sign as an example of the zodiac jewelry found in the range.

How to stack and layer the jewelry in practice

Most of the rings are meant as part of a stacked look, where you combine several rings on the same hand or the same finger. A bold ring like Elstara, Amikeco or Gravita with its distinct chain look works well as the anchoring element, while you complement it with thinner rings in gold or silver, for example Amo or a simple band ring. Spirala ring is meant to be worn next to a signet ring on the neighboring finger, and Om ring is often worn solo on the index finger as a daily anchor, but can also be combined with thin silver or gold rings for a more layered expression. Colorful rings like Glama in green, Fumado in purple and Eterna in pink or purple are all meant as a single color element you stack together with plain gold rings, so the color gets to stand alone.

The necklaces are similarly built to be worn in multiple layers. Forta and Batalo necklace with square pendants are often layered with a finer chain in the same gold tone, while Okulo and Fortika necklace with round pendants and a center stone function as the central, heavier link in a layered set. Freja necklace with its dark blue pendant and Delikata and Destina necklace with their angular chain structures can be worn alone for everyday wear or layered for a party. Tero necklace, the widest in the range, is typically worn solo but can be layered with a finer chain for a graphic expression with contrast between the wide and the delicate link.

The earrings can similarly be mixed, with a stud in one hole and an ear cuff like Mirinda or Euforio layered on top.

Ring sizes

The rings in our range come in several sizes, typically in the range of 52 to 60, depending on the design. Rola and Om ring, for example, come in sizes 52, 54, 57 and 60, Sana ring in 55, 57 and 60, Gasto ring in the smaller sizes 52, 54 and 56, while Amo ring comes in 54 and 60. If you're unsure of your size, you can use a ring you already own and know fits as a reference, and compare its inner diameter with the size listed on the individual product.

The colors in the range

Even though the gold plating recurs across all the jewelry, there's a clear play of color in the stones set in several of the designs. Klera ring has a faceted pink zirconia, Eterna ring comes in both pink and purple, Glama ring has a green center stone, and Fumado ring carries a purple stone as its only color accent. Rola ring combines clear and deep blue zirconia around the all-seeing eye, while Okulo necklace has a purple zirconia at its center. If you want to keep to the golden expression without extra color, rings like Amo, Ege or Aminda are good choices, as they build on form and structure rather than colored stones. If you're combining several colors on the same hand, it can help to choose stones in related shades, for example Eterna in pink together with Klera, so the colors work together rather than compete for attention.

Use and occasion: everyday, parties, layering and gifts

Several of the pieces, especially the rings and necklaces with symbolic motifs, are also described as fitting gifts for confirmations, graduations or round birthdays. Among those mentioned as confirmation gifts are Aventurosa necklace, Koro necklace, Delikata and Destina necklace, Tero necklace, Gravita ring, Pura ring, Elstara ring, Amikeco ring, and Fidindajo and Atentigi bracelet.
