No. Most gems are held together largely by ionic or highly polar covalent bonds, while diamond is a covalent network. Neither of these bond types are suitable for alloys. While it is possible to alloy metals with nonmetals, such as carbon and iron in steel, the nature of the bonding is different. In the case of steel, individual carbon atoms fit into the spaces between iron atoms.

Can you have a gold titanium alloy?

Well Titanium is harder than steel and can be alloyed with different metals. Gold and Titanium can be alloyed together in various percentage. There is a brittle alloy of Gold and Titanium with 90% Gold and 10% Titanium. This alloy is used in dentistry, as this is really hard alloy of Titanium and Gold. This is shown in movies very easy to make, but it isn't. Well in Movies everything is possible... That's why they are called Movies.
