Rocki Gorman
is the daughter of Peggy and Fran Gorman. Although she
was born in Bayonne, New Jersey her heart and soul was
always in the west. Her first trip to the west was in
1960 when her Uncle moved to Las Vegas to sing with the
Harry James Band. Traveling in a 1960 VW Bug on route 66
the 4 year old was amazed by the vast and beautiful
colors of the wild, wild west.
Her father
went north to Tonapah and there mined turquoise.
Traveling back east the trading bug bit her parents and
the selling, buying, and trading of turquoise and
jewelry began. Opening the very first American Indian
jewelry store in New Jersey, her mother was quick to buy
only the best quality Indian jewelry. Traveling back
west twice a year it became clear Rocki’s love of color
and stones was growing. At the age of 7 years old she
created her very first piece of jewelry and sold it in
her parent’s store for $10.
Rocki
attended Toby Colburn School of Design in the
Village in New York City during the 80’s. It was
at that time she sold her wild feather jewelry
and crazy designs to Bloomingdales and to the
stylist for the soaps ONE LIFE TO LIVE and ALL
MY CHILDREN. |
Rocki was proudly a licensed street
vendor who sold in the Village and on the campus of
Columbia University. She is an award winning artist who
also dabbled in the art of creating gourds into
creatures and people. Together with her Mom they
designed and sold antiqued blouses reminiscent of
Victorian days to many boutiques. They also designed
lamb sued bikinis and wood wraps that adorned many stars
who appeared in Atlantic City.
Today her true
passion shines through with her Native American made
creations employing Navajo silversmiths and continuing a
long standing tradition of quality, hand made, American
made jewelry with sterling silver and assorted gem
stones. Her designs are contemporary and geographically
comfortable from Maine to California. Her jewelry has
been seen on many stars and she most recently designed
for Hillary Duff for the magazine Cowboys &
Indians. Her Mission is
simple: Quality, hand made, proudly American creations
for everyone to enjoy.
MAY YOU WALK
IN BEAUTY!
