Why Do We Use Gold for Jewelry?

Gold is soft and shiny, which makes it perfect for jewelry. It doesn’t break easily, so it lasts a long time. People love how it looks under lights or in the sun, like when you wear a gold necklace at a party and everyone notices it! Also, gold is easy to shape into rings, bracelets, and earrings. That means people can make special designs that fit their style.
