What causes gold to be hard enough to make into jewelry?
Gold is naturally a soft metal due to its atomic structure, but alloying it with other metals such as copper or silver can increase its hardness. The addition of these metals forms a stronger crystalline structure, making gold suitable for jewelry making. The higher the percentage of other metals in the alloy, the harder the gold will be.
Why on jewelry does it say 24 karats?
The term "24 karats" indicates that the jewelry is made from pure gold, with no other metals mixed in. Pure gold is too soft for most jewelry applications, so it is often alloyed with other metals to increase its durability.

Is there such thing as white gold?
I guess technically there is only yellow gold when thinking of gold in the pure form. Alloys are mixed with yellow gold to produce white gold. Jewelry manufacturers purchase bricks of yellow gold which are 24ct. 24ct is the highest carat you can cast gold in. Any higher of a carat and the gold is too soft. The 24ct gold is then melted and turned into tiny pebbles. These pebbles are mixed with different alloys just before being cast into the jewelry mold. White gold is created by mixing nickel with yellow gold. Rose gold is created by mixing copper with yellow gold.

The gold came form space originally. Because of two or more stars smash together and created a really hard stuff called gold. There has to be enough heat, though. The gold came form space originally.
