What this covers
The numbers behind handmade jewelry materials and marketplaces.
Handmade jewelry lives where personal style, skilled work, and real materials meet. This page brings together recent public figures on the marketplace where many independent makers sell, the copper used in wirework, and the gemstone supply that shapes so many one-of-a-kind designs.
Use these figures with their source dates in mind. Marketplace data describes Etsy, not every handmade business. Material data describes U.S. supply and trade, not the value of a finished piece.
