Sylvia in Moss Green

Organic oval polymer clay dangles in a moss green color. The front of the earrings are lightly textured with sandpaper, but are smooth to the touch. No scratchiness here! Stainless steel, hypoallergenic post and gold-plated jump rings.

Named after Sylvia Rivera, a Venezuelan-Puerto Rican trans woman who pioneered LGBTQ+ activism. Alongside Marsha P. Johnson, she created the STAR (Street Transvestite Action Revolutionaries) organization, which provided a home for homeless trans people in New York in the 1970s. Sylvia’s Place and the Sylvia Rivera Law Project continue to honor her legacy by working towards LGBTQ+ rights.
