Sylvia in Sugar Cookie

Organic oval dangles made from a clay slab of little red, yellow, pink, and green trees. The surface of the earrings are textured to mimic the look of a freshly baked sugar cookie. Close up, they almost look good enough to eat! Because of the way the slab was made, each pair is 100% one of a kind! 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.
