Clothes are made of many different kinds of materials: polyester, nylon, wool, silk, ete. Polyesfer and nylon are man-made materials. Wool, leather, silk, and cotton are natural materials. Clothes made of natural materials are usually more expensive than those made of man-made materials. Jewelry is often made of a variety of metals and beautiful rocks and stones. We also use stones and rocks to build houses, buildings, roads, etc. One of the most expensive metals we use is gold. Silver is also expensive, but it's less expensive than gold. Copper is a soft metal which we use to make some jewelry, but we use it more for electrical wiring. Iron is a hard, strong metal that we use to make cars, buildings, ete.
