Pure gold is very malleable and highly ductile. This means it can easily be hammered into thin sheets, and it can be drawn, as wire. Pure gold is beautiful to be sure, but because of these characteristics it is not particularly durable. Even if you think you're being careful you would dent and scratch pure gold in no time, really taking from the beauty and appeal of the piece. You want jewelry to have the rich beauty and luster of gold, and also to be durable enough to wear without feeling as if you must nurse it every minute.
