Once mankind learns to produce gold, will people still wear gold jewelry?

Asked by Hypocrisy_Central (26879points) April 24th, 2014

Imagine in the near future some smart guy in India unlocks the mystery on how to produce gold in the factory, and of a higher quality than you can dig from the ground, would people still wear gold jewelry if it were as plentiful as tin? (No, instead of hording it, this guy gave the secret to the world like the U.S. gave the formula to The Bomb to the world, at least the U.S. lackeys) Would looks alone minus the value it carries today, keep people wearing the no-longer-precious metal?
