What does the “J. FLORES” mark mean?
The J. Flores mark from Taxco is thought to be the independent mark of Jose Luis Flores, a silversmith who worked for William Spratling and later made pieces for Emma Melendez and Miguel Garcia Martinez. The attribution is likely but not proven, so describe pieces as attributed. If your piece is stamped J. Flores with Taxco or Mexico and a sterling or 925 stamp, it is Mexican sterling from the mid 20th century. You will mostly find it on bracelets and other jewelry.
