We will make you
This phrase suggests a collective effort, possibly indicating the involvement of a community or a group of artisans. In the context of the Song of Solomon, it reflects the communal joy and participation in the celebration of love. The use of "we" can also symbolize the divine involvement in the beautification and adornment of the beloved, suggesting that love is not just a personal affair but one that is blessed and supported by others, including God.

ornaments of gold
Gold, in biblical times, was a symbol of wealth, purity, and divine glory. It was often used in the construction of the temple and in the making of sacred objects (Exodus 25:11). The mention of "ornaments of gold" here signifies the preciousness and value of the beloved. It reflects the idea that true love is rare and valuable, akin to gold. The use of gold also implies a sense of permanence and enduring beauty, suggesting that the love being described is not fleeting but everlasting.

studded with silver
Silver, like gold, was a precious metal in ancient times, often associated with redemption and purity. In the tabernacle, silver was used for the bases of the holy place (Exodus 26:19). The combination of gold and silver in this verse enhances the imagery of beauty and worth. Silver's association with redemption can also imply that love has a redemptive quality, purifying and elevating those who partake in it. The act of "studding" suggests careful craftsmanship and attention to detail, indicating that love is not only valuable but also intricately and thoughtfully expressed.

(11) Borders.--The same word translated rows in preceding verse. In the dramatic theory, this verse put into Solomon's mouth takes the form of a seductive offer of richer and more splendid ornaments to dazzle the rustic maiden; but no theory is necessary to explain a fond lover's wish to adorn the person of his beloved.
