Why are silver and gold good metals to use for jewelry and magnesium is not?

Why don't we make ships of sodium or magnesium?
We don't use them because they react with water. Sodium reacts quickly and quite violently, magnesium is slower, but would still be eaten away. In fact we deliberately use blocks of magnesium on the hulls of ships so that they will corrode in preference to the iron hull.

You can't make a gold bar out of jewelry; it only works the other way around.
