When comparing an ounce of silver and an ounce of gold, gold has always had more worth per ounce. You would be looking at paying much more for a 24 Karat solid gold ring than a sterling silver one.

Why is silver and gold is used to make jewelry?

Because on the periodic table of elements, silver and gold are among the least reactive elements. That means that they are precious and people with serious allergic reaction to jewelry made out of cheap metals like stainless steal can wear them. Since silver and gold are in limited quantities, they are considered precious metals. The fact that they cause least irritation to the skin when worn makes them the best candidates for jewelry options. This makes the silver and gold jewelry expensive, although sterling silver jewelry is much cheaper and affordable than 14K, 18K, and 22K gold.
