Reason why small amount of copper is added to gold and silver while making jewellery :
It is because pure gold and silver in its original state is highly soft. It is very smooth and soft that it cannot be used as such for making jewellary.
Thus in order to make them hard, copper is added due to which the gold gets the flexibility and can be molded into different shapes according to the design.
