Answer 2

Hii Chirag,

● 24-karat gold is not used for making jewellery because -
- 24-karat gold is 100% pure gold.
- Pure gold is though more shiny, it's too much soft for making ornaments.
- Ornaments made from 24-karat gold are easily break even by simple bending.
- Therefore, instead of using pure gold, silver/zinc/nickel are added in it to make jewellery.
- Most commonly used is 22-karat gold for making jewellery.


Thanks for asking..
