Stallholder portrait - Marion Long: Jewellery etc

Thames Market

Earrings, necklaces, bracelets, pendants made of paua set in leather are on the stall near Chequers Café - Marion Long has a “pretty vast range of jewellery”, she says. She has always been a person interested in crafts working with polished rocks for example. Marion started making jewellery with a view to have a stall at Thames Market once she retired. Her pieces are all genuine, self-created. “It all comes from me, it’s all me,” she laughs when asked where she gets the ideas from for her designs. “I love sparkly things, crystals and that kind of thing.” You will find all sorts of colours on her table except yellow and orange. “I do the colours I like, so you won’t find [them here] because I never wear yellow or orange.” As she lives on a farm in the Omahu Valley, jewellery enthusiasts can also stock up on walnuts, macadamia nuts, feijoas, and mandarins – even if they are orange.
