What are the properties of gold that make it an ideal metal to use in jewelry making

YER MOM ... jk, Gold is used to make jewelry because of the attractiveness of its luster and because of its rarity. It also doesn't tarnish and doesn't react with air the way a metal like iron does. Gold is malleable, which means it can be beaten into very thin sheets. It's also ductile, which means it can be stretched out into thin wire as in the findings of earrings : 3
