These belts are a part of our Earthstones collection and are all cut slabs in various shapes and sizes. They are all hand made and we use domestic turquoise as well as the fabulous colors of Purple Kingman and Mojave Green turquoise. There are a total of 10 slabs set in sterling silver with one making the buckle.

All jewelry designed by Rocki Gorman is trademarked and hand made in the USA by Native American silversmiths. Most of the jewelry is handmade using sheets of sterling silver and hand sawed and shaped. All stampings are hammered into the silver and with regards to the Vintage silver collection the Navajo who creates these for us has nearly 1000 stamps in his collection. Gorman prides herself on staying true to the handcrafted, American-made and the quality and workmanship reflects this. Rocki Gorman does not manufacture or mass produce.
