What are ornaments made from and why?

Answer 1

Metals are used for the manufacturing of ornaments.

• Metals like gold and silver are commonly utilized for making ornaments.
• This is due to the fact that these metals are quite shiny in appearance (or we can say they are lustrous).
• Apart from being lustrous, these metals are non-corrosive in nature.
• Hence, they do not get tarnished easily.
