Gold

is a precious metal known for its scarcity and value. It is sought after for its decorative beauty and is used to make jewelry such necklaces, rings, and bracelets. It is also used in electronics as it is a great conductor of heat and electricity.

Gold is incredibly malleable and ductile. It is such a soft metal that it is commonly alloyed with metals such as nickel, silver, copper, and platinum to increase its strength. The purity of gold alloys is measured in karats, with one karat being equivalent to 1/24th of the alloy’s composition. For example, an alloy that is 18 parts gold and 6 parts silver is 18 karat gold.
