The Craft of Colour

Colour built into the form

Enamel is not treated as decoration added at the end. The motif, fill areas, visible metal borders, colour balance, and final surface are developed together so the piece reads clearly at jewellery scale.

01

Map the palette

Give every colour field a reference, position, and orientation before sampling.

02

Define the boundaries

Use CAD and the physical sample to confirm the visible metal outlines and critical separations.

03

Approve the finish

Review fill level, surface appearance, edge clean-up, and the relationship between enamel and polished metal.
