I love to colour mix at Lottie Of London Jewellery and my recent commission request was no exception.
I was asked to create my popular long statement necklace with red hues to coordinate with a clients coat.
When mixing primary colours such as green and blue you can shift the colour to lighter or darker resulting in a pale blue or navy blue for example. Working with red is a little different although adding black will darken a red into burgundy, adding white will quickly start to turn the colour pink and yellow will shift the red into a coral hue before becoming orange.
So it was decided to stick with the obvious bold red and shift into burgundy.
So after some colour mixing and testing I created a selection of seven red hues for my client to make her final selection, as seen below.
Once the final colours had been decided I set about creating the necklace and matching drop earrings.
