Welcome to Chinatown x SUBLIMA Chinese Dragon Signet Ring

The Welcome to Chinatown x SUBLIMA Chinese Dragon Signet Ring is our collaboration with 501(c)(3) nonprofit Welcome to Chinatown. Inspired by the former Welcome to Chinatown electric dragon sign on Canal Street in Manhattan, it honors Chinatown’s past while looking forward to its future.⁠

It’s a talisman that celebrates what Chinatown has meant for New York City historically—creating and safeguarding the community—and now: Multigenerational efforts to preserve culture and evolve Chinatown’s businesses and services to ensure longevity.⁠
⁠
The design blends old- and new-school motifs: Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize strength, prosperity and excellence. The structured signet shape and geometric dragon scales create a modern aesthetic, representing Chinatown’s evolution and future.⁠

Ring sizing: The most accurate method to find your ring size is to purchase this inexpensive ring sizer to measure your finger. You can also try less accurate methods in our ring sizing guide.

Handcrafted in New York with love, the Welcome to Chinatown x SUBLIMA Chinese Dragon Signet Ring was originally carved in wax, then cast in metal and polished and oxidized 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.
