Niza Huang's designs are a combination of jewelry, animation and illustration. This collection called 'Hello Puppet' is a project Huang did for her graduation from Sheffield Hallam University in the UK.

The artist uses metal, acrylic, bone, leather, and wood to create the fun pieces which include [tiny arms and legs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/barbie-professions-collection) complete with toes. Huang makes [statement necklaces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-jewelry-piece) in bold black, white and silver. Some look like puppets and have movable joints creating a kinetic effect; others are a collection of charms that hang from an oversized chain.
