The inspiration behind this piece
Anna May Wong was not only a gifted actress and fashion icon of the 1920s & 1930s, but she was also a strong Chinese-American actress who fought to breakdown distasteful stereotypes against Chinese immigration.
She was born in Los Angeles to second-generation Toisonese Chinese-American parents, and while she is known as the first Chinese-American actress, she unfortunately only received a small number of leading roles in films. Her limitations were largely due to ideologies of the time where portrayals of interracial relationships on screen were not allowed. As a result, she was often limited to playing stereotypical supporting roles where she was depicted her as either a “Dragon Lady” or as a “Butterfly”.
This film was created by Weird Wonderful Women, a channel dedicated to all the weird and wonderful women throughout history.

Anna May Wong is undeniably an amazing woman. She fought all of her life to break down barriers in The United States, and abroad, and she did so with great dignity and respect for her heritage.
Her passion and strength were the design inspiration for these handmade heartshaped crystal drop earrings.
