Jewellery, gold and silver
Jewellery is what people wear to look nice. We wear a ring on a finger. We wear a bracelet on the wrist. We wear a necklace round the neck. We wear earrings on the ears. Jewellery is often made of gold or silver. Gold is yellow and silver is grey-white. In Cairo there is a very old market called Khan el-Khalili where people sell jewellery. We say: It is a gold ring. It is a silver bracelet.

Khan el-Khalili is a famous market in Cairo. Many shops sell gold rings, silver bracelets and colourful necklaces. Tourists and Egyptian families walk between the shops and look at the jewellery. Some people buy a small gift for a friend.
