Sylvia in Pink and Red Checkers

Organic oval dangles in a pink and poppy red checkered pattern. 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.
