Gold is an element with the symbol Au, and therefore it is not a mixture. However, commercial gold is often mixed with other metals to help it maintain its shape while still looking like pure gold, because gold is very soft compared to other metals. So gold jewelry, unless it is made of 24 carat gold, is a mixture, not a compound, but pure, unaltered gold is not a mixture, but an element.
