Depending on the piece, gold jewelry can be a mixture. If it is solid gold, then no. The highest concentration of pure gold is 24kt but it is very malleable or easy to distort. Anything less is most likely a mixture.
All 22kt, 18kt, 14kt gold etc. is alloyed with other metals such as silver, copper etc.

Is fourteen carat gold a element?
No. Gold (as in 24K pure gold) is an element. However, 14K gold is a mixture of gold, copper, nickel and tin. 14K means it is 14/24ths gold, and 10/24ths another metal. BTW, pure 24K gold is almost never used for jewelry- it is too soft, and will bend. Most good gold jewelry is 14K.
