Question

why is 24 carat gold not used for making jewellery

Answer 1

24 carat gold, or pure gold is very soft and hence cannot be used for making jewellery. So, some amount of other metal, (usually copper and silver) is added in order to make gold a bit harder and give it a shape.

Answer 2

24-carat gold is not used for making jewelry due to its 'malleability and ductility.'

Explanation:

• Pure gold or 24-carat gold is not considered adequate for jewelry making because of its softness which makes it easily bendable and warpable.
• In order to make jewelry, we need the metal to possess the quality of retaining its shape and not get deformed so that it can take a grip of precious gems like diamond, ruby, etc.
• Thus, the gold is mixed with some amount of other metals like copper in order to strengthen it for jewelry making purposes.
