Best Answer

Egypt's gold was typically obtained by gold found in river deposits of silt, which was simply extracted by washing the lighter silt away with water, picking out any particles of gold, and setting aside whatever was found for later melting into ingots. This is possibly the way the metal for Egypt's earliest golden artifacts were obtained. Gold-bearing veins of quartzite were also exploited in the eastern desert and in Nubia. gold was also found in mines and quarrys.

GOld in a ring is an element?

Yes, the gold in jewelry (such as rings) is an element. But jewelry is not made of pure gold, because pure gold is too soft. The other metals make it harder, and can affect the color of the jewelry (this is how you get 'white gold' - different metals make it look more white than other gold jewelry).
