yes of course they do. especially people who have some sense of style. handmade jewelry is really tailored for the people who wear them... and if you start to pay attention to the kinds of jewelry that the most creative and self-expressive people you know wear, then you might be surprised to see that they are hand-made. machine made jewelry is pretty unoriginal, since it's mass-manufactured and distributed to hundreds if not thousands of people locally and around the world. and then they all wear the exact same piece of jewelry. when jewelry is hand made, then it has a way of letting the person express him or herself - and sport something original that can be sure is not worn by anyone else.

i can't imagine hand made jewelry NOT being popular. it's such a creative fashion expression and things like that never go out of style. especially among people who have a creative sense of fashion. actually among anyone really. you can see handmade jewelry everywhere you go, practically. on the streets, in the malls, on television... the most well-known celebrities are on tv sporting unique, one of a kind hand made jewelry. i can't believe that it would ever go out of style. you'll always have artists and craftsmen designing, creating, manufacturing hand made stuff - whether jewelry or some other kind of fashion accessory.

i'm not sure. i'm thinking it is... well at least in some parts of the world. i'm not sure about in america though, since jewelry is so much about mass production... and that people really tend to buy mass produced stuff (whether jewelry, clothes, handbags...) so i would actually be surprised if handmade jewelry is more popular in the united states than mass manufactured jewelry. i know that in places like the far east or even maybe mexico, people do tend to buy more hand made stuff. and i'm sure that jewelry is one of those things that they buy that is hand made.

i'm assuming yes. why not? why would hand made jewelry run out of style. it's constantly being produced by artisans, etc. so people will continue to buy it and wear it. i guess that's just an opinion, though. can't say for sure.
