Gold is not magnetic because it does not produce a magnetic filed of it's own. Ferros metals, eg. iron, nickle and cobalt, are able to create their own magnetic field due to their atomic structures.
Each molecule of an element has a specific atomic structure. This is comprised of atomic shells, which can hold a total of 8 ions in each shell. The number of ions is denoted by the element's atomic number, eg. calcium's atomic number is 20, meaning that the atomic shell structure of a calcium atom is 2 (max. on inner shell), 8, 8 (8 is max in outer shells) and finally two left over in the final outer shell.
This last outer shell is the important part. The ions left available in this shell will be attracted to other shells of other elements that are not at their max ion capacity of 8. This is also true for iron atoms which have 2 in their outer shell also, causing it to be attracted to other elements and more volitile as a result.

No. Solid gold jewelry is not magnetic.
Gold plated jewelry may or may not be magnetic. This will depend on the amount of gold present. Pure gold in itself is usually not magnetic.
Gold is malleable and ductile. It is not magnetic.
Gold plated jewelry may or may not be magnetic. This will depend on the amount of gold present. Pure gold in itself is usually not magnetic.
No. Pyrite (also known as fool's gold) is not magnetic.
Pure gold is NOT magnetic. If gold were magnetic, then why would anyone ever waste time to "pan for gold": they would just drag magnets through the water.
No gold is not magnetic because it does not contain any of the metals that are magnetic such as iron, nickel, and cobalt.
