Answer:

Since ornaments in their making are required to be held tightly onto a diamond or allied precious stones, 24-karat gold is not used for making jewellery because of its softness. Thanks to the ductility and malleability of 24-karat gold, it can easily be deformed and lose its grip on a jewel.

Answer:

Gold in its pure form is a very soft metal. Which is very much ductile and malleable. Due to this on making jewelry pure gold or 24 karat gold would lose its grip and would easily become deformed.

Explanation:

Gold in its pure form is a very soft metal. Which is very much ductile and malleable. Gold is very much malleable that it can be hammered into sheets so thin that an inch would contain more than 200,000 separate sheets. Due to this on making jewelry pure gold or 24 karat gold would lose its grip and would easily become deformed. Hence most of the jewelry is made from alloys of gold which is usually 22 karat. It mixes with metals such as silver, copper, or platinum to make it more durable to make ornaments with more grip.
