So excited to announce a special collaboration with @sublimajewelry to celebrate APAHM! 🐉
The new @welcome.to.chinatown x SUBLIMA Chinese Dragon Signet Ring is inspired by the iconic “Welcome to Chinatown” electric dragon sign on Canal St. The ring is a talisman that celebrates what Chinatown has meant for NYC historically — creating and safeguarding the community, and now — multigenerational efforts to preserve culture and ensure longevity.
The design blends old- and new-school design motifs: Chinese dragons traditionally symbolize strength, prosperity and excellence — poignant in the wake of rising anti-Asian discrimination and violence — while the structured signet ring shape and geometric dragon scales create a modern aesthetic, representing Chinatown’s evolution and future.
100% of net proceeds from this ring in May will be donated to our initiatives. Thank you SUBLIMA for partnering with us! Link in bio to shop the Welcome to Chinatown x SUBLIMA Chinese Dragon Signet Ring (available in recycled brass or recycled sterling silver).
SUBLIMA Jewelry is a sustainable jewelry brand handmade in NYC by Chinese American founder and designer @kellyjbit. Since 2020, SUBLIMA has donated more than $60,000 to nonprofits supporting NYC’s Chinatowns, racial justice, and food security.
