Gold is preferred in making jewelry because it does not react with atmospheric moisture and rust

It has a stable market value that is almost always rising. It is very malleable able to be shaped into many ornate patterns. And it's cost per weight is high, making the jewelry expensive, and thus lucrative to the jeweler.

It is precious metal that is highly-valued by most people over the world, even since prehistoric times! Its bright yellow colour and its reflectiveness to light makes it very attractive. It also does not rust, corrode and is easy to clean, and it is very durable and ductile. Therefore, many, or in fact, most of the people feel that gold is undoubtedly the best metal for jewellery.
