Had an elven or human caravan recently with studded gem for thade. Does that mean I can chain decorations by, say, studdyng gem, then encrusting some bone item with it, then decorating anything else with resulting bone ets.

The gem you stall studded was a Large Gem, which is a type of finished good that sometimes results from gemcutting.  Large Gems can't be used to further decorate anything else, they're finished goods, and Small Cut Gems that you can use for encrusting can't be themselves encrusted.

Also I wonder if there's a way to build down. If i breach the cavern from above and start building downwards ramps or ladders to finally get down to it's floor shall I succeed?

I'm pretty sure that the current version lets you build an up or up/down staircase in open space beneath an already existing down or up/down staircase.

A little question: Which stockpiles need to be cleared of rocks before you can use them?

I know wood and (obviously) stone stockpiles do, but what else?

My dwarves don't move prisoners to my jail. I have goblins in cages in the stockpile, but after assigning them to a jail, they are not moved. Only the one original goblin is in the jail.

Jails aren't for goblins. Those are for dwarves who break the law (missing mandates or tantruming mostly)  :)

Do aboveground crops need mud?

Also, why isn't this thread stickied?

Which stockpile does raw clay go under?  The wiki mentions economic stone, but even with all economics turned on it won't be stored, and turning on ALL stone will make it a moot point to have a stockpile at all.

Clay loam is stored in my economic stone stockpile, are you sure it's clay?

Also, seized goods can't be traded at all? I stole goods from elves, and apparently can't sell them to the humans. The goods are useless junk for trading, what good are they if I can't trade them?

If you decorate the stolen goods with gems, it'll no longer count as being "stolen" I think.

If you build a cage and select it with q you should be able to (a)ssign things to it. I've heard goblins can escape during transfer though, so I take no responsibility for any Fun resulting from this attempt.  :P

Will a beehive spawn on a map that doesn't initially have a hive anywhere on it?
