Three Strand Picture Jasper Choker by Rocki Gorman

Crafted under the artistic direction of Rocki Gorman and realized by talented Native artisans she collaborates with, the Desert Strata Three-Strand Picture Jasper Choker is a graceful marriage of Southwestern heritage and contemporary elegance.

Rocki Gorman, based in Santa Fe, curates and designs her collections while working closely with skilled Native American silversmiths and bead workers. Her gallery in the historic La Fonda Hotel displays her contemporary sterling silver and gemstone jewelry, and she has become known for her multi-strand necklaces, earrings, and thoughtfully curated artisan pieces. Though she is not Native American herself, Gorman is committed to employing and highlighting Native artisans, ensuring that authenticity, skill, and cultural respect remain central to every piece. 

Picture Jasper, the stone featured in this choker, is prized for its painterly patterns of earthy browns, creams, and grays. Each bead carries its own unique landscape-like markings — sometimes desert washes, petrified wood textures, or sweeping strata — making every choker a miniature geological portrait. It’s a stone of grounding, connection to the land, and timeless natural beauty.

This choker is designed to be both beautiful on its own and an ideal backdrop for a striking pendant:

• Lengths: 14" end to end with an additional 4" extender for flexible fit
• Width: Approximately ¾" (measured across the three strands)
• Clamp / Terminals: Finished with sterling silver tapered ends (cone bead caps)
• Clasp: A secure sterling silver hook-and-loop style closure
• Pendant Compatibility: The design leaves room to attach a pendant with a generous bail — perfect for layering or creating a bold focal point

Wear this choker alone as a rich, earthy statement piece, or add your favorite pendant for a layered, personalized look that bridges tradition and modern design.
