Evelyn Jiron
Overview
Evelyn Jiron is an Isleta silversmith. Hougart's entry is a single line — it records her marks and nothing more. We publish it because the marks are real and collectors will meet them.
Collector's caution: Both of Evelyn Jiron's documented marks are initials-only — E. J. and EJ J. Initial stamps are the easiest marks to misattribute; other makers may share the same letters. Weigh the piece's style, materials, and provenance alongside the stamp before settling on this attribution.
