Answer:
hey mate here is your answer
Explanation:
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:
Because pure gold i.e with no impurities is so soft that it gets deformed easily small pressure applied on it. If try to put on a bangle made of pure gold the shape of the bangle would change.
So, our ordinary gold ornaments are made with 92% of pure gold and 8% of other metal alloys sucha as silver, zinc, nickel and allied to give it strength.
