Solution

Metals:
Metals are naturally occurring substances found beneath the Earth's surface. The majority of metals have a lustrous or shining appearance.
Gold and silver are metals with very little activity. As a result, moisture and air gases do not cause corrosion.
Because of their bright, lustrous surface and good corrosion resistance, they are widely used in jewellery.
They are exceedingly malleable and ductile, hence they can be sculpted into any shape or pattern.
Therefore, Gold and silver are used for making jewellery.
