If you ever need an instant mood boost, just take one look at the handmade acrylic jewelry from Sunnie Creative and you won't be able to not smile! The names of the jewelry collections alone—like the Galaxy, Animal, and Fruit collections—let you know immediately that you're about to step into a super-unique world of wearable art. "I draw inspiration from things around me and my personal experience, like a flower I saw in the store or fruit I grew up eating in China but can’t find in the US," owner Tiffany Wang says. "I want to create colorful, fun designs."
Tiffany, who runs Sunnie Creative with her mom, Amy, and sister, Sunny, creates accessories bursting with color and creativity—many of which are influenced by the family's Chinese heritage. Take her Lunar New Year collection, for example, which includes lotus flower and flying dragon statement earrings so cute you'll want to rock them long after Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month is over.

In their own words: “I draw inspiration from my Chinese culture and traditions to create [many of our pieces], including our Lunar New Year and AAPI collection. AAPI month is a time to celebrate the rich and diverse cultures, history, and contributions of Asian Americans and Pacific islanders in the US. It’s a great time to showcase our culture, food, and art. My favorite part of AAPI month is getting to know more AAPI-owned business because everyone is so creative!”
