Why iron not used in making jewellery?

Answer 1

While iron is a very strong metal and would hold up well as jewelry, it rusts, and rusty metal isn't very romantic to look at.

Answer 2

Some common metals used in jewelry are: gold, silver, platinum, titanium, and palladium. These metals are all malleable (and so easy to make into shapes for jewelry) and also resist rusting or oxidation (and so don't lose they shiny luster quickly). They also all have a color and shine which is pleasing to the eye. Another reason is that most of those elements are rare. Their rarity makes them more expensive to mine. People wear jewelry mostly because it is beautiful, but the fact that it is expensive and rare makes it more special. For instance, fake diamonds look a lot like real ones, but most people much prefer real diamonds because they are much more special, rare and expensive!

Answer 3

Iron is not commonly used in making jewelry because it is prone to rusting and tarnishing when exposed to moisture or air. This can result in discoloration and deterioration of the jewelry piece over time. Additionally, iron is not as malleable or ductile as other metals like gold, silver, or platinum, making it more difficult to shape and design intricate jewelry pieces.

Answer 4

Iron and zinc has not value (in money) for jewelry. Also iron is easy corroded in humid air.

Answer 5

Gold is more stable and can be worked to finer detail.

Answer 6

Iron is not a beautiful metal, it is cheap and can be easily corroded.
