Gold is an element in its own right. It can only be formed in a supernova explosion, when the energy density becomes sufficient. Only elements up to that of iron can be formed in a star such as our Sun, using fusion processes. So you have bits of a star in your body!
As to gold on our Earth, this was all obtained during the accretionary process. Liquid gold can be squeezes up from the interior but very uncommon. But far far more usual is that gold dissolves in hot wet quartz solution, and this is the usual transport process to Earth's surface. [It has about the same solubility in quartz as does arsenic, and technical prospectors actually look for As, which is much more common, rather than Au. They then look for the gold.]
