Sylvia in Neutral Checkers

Organic oval  dangles in a subtly shimmery beige and white checkered pattern. These have a UV resin topcoat, giving them the most beautiful shine! Made with polymer clay, gold plated brass jump rings, and hypoallergenic stainless steel stud posts.

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.
