Answer: Gold

Explanation: Gold (Au) in its bulk form, like the metal in a wedding ring, is not considered a magnetic material. Technically, it is classified as “diamagnetic”, meaning that it can be repelled by a magnetic field, but cannot form a permanent magnet. ... Magnetism is caused by unpaired electrons surrounding the atoms of the material.
