Yiwei Huang is a contemporary jewellery designer who believes jewellery can transcend its role as a marker of social identity to quietly and effectively communicate personal messages. Her work explores the dynamic relationships between the wearer, the jewellery, and the viewer, fostering inclusivity, connection, and mutual understanding. Blurring the boundaries between body and jewellery, her pieces are designed to engage with the hands, make direct contact with the skin, and empathetically align with the body's forms.

With a background in silversmithing and goldsmithing, Huang translates her conceptual ideas into tangible creations through a "thinking through making" design practice. Her process begins with sketching, crafting physical samples, and experimenting with materials directly on the body. She then extends her designs' possibilities and efficiency using contemporary technologies such as 3D printing, laser cutting, and printing.

Despite her use of modern methods, Huang remains deeply committed to craftsmanship. She carefully reshapes printed models by hand, ensuring each piece retains the warmth and touch of the maker. This approach fosters a deeper connection between the jewellery and the human body, creating work that is both innovative and deeply personal.
