Double Happiness 囍 Leather Collar

Double Happiness 囍 is ubiquitous in Chinese culture (especially at weddings) as a symbol of happiness, prosperity and union. It also serves as a general well-wish for one’s abundance and success.⁠

The Double Happiness 囍 Leather Collar is bold and decidedly modern, with real leather cord and almost preppy hook components, and a mesmerizingly geometric 囍 character—its symmetry is balanced with an organic hand-carved touch—which hangs from a lock-like bail.

• Hand-carved Double Happiness 囍 pendant available in recycled brass or recycled sterling silver
  
• Hand-carved hook components available in recycled sterling silver only
  
• Handmade with braided red leather cord or smooth black leather cord
  
• Wear leather collar with or without pendant
  
• Available in various lengths: 15" (shown on female model), 16", 17", 18" (shown on male model), 19" or 20" or specify a custom length in the note section at checkout
  
• We recommend choosing a collar-necklace length so that the hooks sit at the clavicle

Instructions for putting on this necklace:

• Watch this video for instructions on how to put on and take off this necklace
• You can wear this necklace with or without the pendant
  
• When you're putting on the necklace, make sure the left hook lies flat against your chest, and the right hook faces at a perpendicular angle to the chest.
  
• If you're wearing the necklace without the pendant, hook the right hook onto the left hook (so that the right hook sits on top). Be sure to squeeze both hooks closed for a secure fit.
  
• If you're wearing the necklace with the pendant, hook the right hook onto the pendant so that the right hook sits on top of the pendant. Then hook both the right hook and pendant onto the left hook. The left hook should sit at the bottom of the stack. Be sure to squeeze both hooks closed for a secure fit.

Handcrafted in New York with love, the Double Happiness 囍 Leather Collar was originally carved in wax, then cast in metal, polished and assembled by hand.

Each piece is handmade to order and will take an average 7-14 business days to arrive to you.

You can use the polishing cloth that comes with your piece on SUBLIMA components that are 100% recycled brass or recycled sterling silver. Avoid using the polishing cloth on components that are gold-filled or gold-plated.

Don't wash your polishing cloth, which contains special cleansing agents that are micro-abrasive.

Over time, your jewelry will come into contact with moisture and oils from your skin and the air, which exposes the metal to oxygen, causing oxidation. The result is that jewelry can appear less shiny, which is why we provide a polishing cloth with every piece. It's the most effective and efficient after testing all the DIY options.

In addition to using the polishing cloth, here’s how you can help preserve the jewelry's shine:

• Apply lotion, perfume or hairspray before putting on your jewelry.
• Remove your jewelry before working out, swimming or showering.
• Minimize contact with hard surfaces to prevent scratching.
• Store your jewelry in its velvet baggie.

Because our pieces are made to order, it takes 7-14 days to make and deliver your jewelry. Pieces that are in stock and ready to ship will be delivered sooner. Standard shipping on all U.S. orders is free via USPS Priority Mail. You can also pay for expedited options.

If you'd like to process a return for a refund, or exchange, you can email hey@sublimajewelry.com within 30 days of receiving your order.

Our recycled metals are sourced from a New York-based refiner called United Precious Metal Refining, Inc., which is certified for products with 100% recycled content. Metal recycling conserves natural resources, energy and reduces greenhouse gas emissions.

Recycled Brass: A brighter and whiter version of the yellow metal that resembles 14k gold when polished. Brass is a copper and zinc alloy, and our version uses a lower level of copper, which makes the brass brighter.

Recycled Sterling Silver: Our sterling silver is deoxidized, which has a higher resistance to tarnish.

Components—Gold-Filled, Gold-Plated, Sterling Silver and Stainless Steel: For earring components and necklace findings, we use gold-filled or sterling silver. For necklace chains, we use gold-filled, gold-plated and stainless steel. Gold-filled items are made with a solid layer of gold constituting 5% of the item’s weight, on a base of brass or stainless steel. Gold plating refers to a thinner layer of gold that’s applied to the surface of brass or stainless steel.
