Why are only a few metals suitable for making jewellery? Class 7

Answer:

Only a few metals like gold and silver are suitable for making jewellery.

  1. They are lustrous.
  2. They do not react easily with air or water, so they do not lose their shine over time.
  3. These metals are also soft, which allows them to be easily shaped into various designs.

Gold is so ductile that one gram of it can be drawn into a 2 kilometre long wire!
