Can I request expedited or date-specific delivery?
If you need your jewelry by a certain date, email us at support@goldnboys.com.
While expedited requests aren’t guaranteed, we may be able to accommodate depending on the item and production stage.

Product Care & Maintenance
Is GoldNBoys jewelry made to last?
Yes. GoldNBoys jewelry is designed for long-term wear. Whether you choose gold or silver, each piece is made with durability in mind.
That said, we recommend removing your jewelry before activities where it could be dented, caught, or damaged, especially with hollow or semi-hollow gold chains.
How should I clean my jewelry?
To keep your jewelry in top condition:
- Clean regularly with warm water and mild soap
- Use a soft brush to gently remove dirt
- Polish with a jewelry polishing cloth
For deeper cleaning, ultrasonic cleaners or professional jewelry services work well for both gold and silver.
Pricing & Affordability
How does GoldNBoys keep prices so affordable?
At GoldNBoys, our goal is to make real gold and silver jewelry accessible even for people searching for cheap men’s jewelry but who still care about quality.
We keep prices fair by focusing on:
- Smart metal options: We offer a mix of solid, hollow, and semi-hollow gold. Solid gold has the most weight (and the highest price), while hollow and semi-hollow styles use real gold but with less metal, which helps keep certain chains and bracelets more budget-friendly.
- Real metals only: Instead of loading the site with ultra-cheap, short-term pieces made from base metals, we focus on 10k and 14k gold and 925 sterling silver. That means even when you’re looking for something “cheap,” you’re still getting actual gold or silver, not mystery metal that flakes or turns green.
- Minimalistic, sustainable packaging: Many jewelry brands bake the cost of fancy boxes and bags into their pricing. We intentionally keep packaging simple, recyclable, and minimal, so you’re paying for the jewelry itself, not an expensive box you’ll toss. If you’re gifting, you can always upgrade to a gift box by emailing support@goldnboys.com, but the default is designed to keep costs (and waste) low. See more about how we keep pricing low at Our Pricing page.
- Fair, transparent markups: We price our jewelry based on metal, craftsmanship, and fair business margins not hype. Our goal is to stay competitive with other men’s jewelry stores while offering more value in metal and quality at each price point.
So yes, if you’re searching for cheap men’s gold chains or affordable silver jewelry for men, GoldNBoys is built to give you that sweet spot: lower prices without cutting corners where it actually matters.
Is “cheap” jewelry always low quality?
Not necessarily—but often, yes. A lot of cheap men’s jewelry gets its low price from:
- Base metals that can tarnish or irritate skin
- Thin plating that wears off quickly
- Unknown or unclear metal content
At GoldNBoys, “affordable” doesn’t mean disposable. We focus on real 10k and 14k gold and 925 sterling silver, in solid, hollow, and semi-hollow styles, so you can choose what fits your budget without giving up real metal. The goal is to offer affordable options compared to traditional retail without feeling cheap when you wear them. See our favorite styles in our men’s jewelry collection.
How does GoldNBoys compare to popular online men’s gold and silver jewelry brands, mall jewelry and high-end luxury?
At the end of the day, we’re focused on getting you the best deal on your silver or gold. Not marketing, pretty pictures, fancy boxes or extra fluff. That’s what makes us different and that’s what allows GoldNBoys to give you affordable pricing. You can learn more about how we keep our pricing low in Our Pricing page.
- Metal vs. markup:
In many mall or luxury stores, you’re paying for rent, branding, ads, and layers of overhead, not just the chain. It’s common to see plated or lightweight pieces priced like solid gold. With us, the focus is on real metal content and fair markups, so you get more actual gold or silver for what you spend. - Real gold and silver at more accessible price points:
We offer solid, hollow, and semi-hollow gold chains and sterling silver pieces so you have options. A hollow or semi-hollow gold chain from GoldNBoys can often be priced closer to what a plated or low-quality piece might cost at a mall store making it feel “cheap” in the good way (as in, you got a deal). - Less fluff, more value:
Where some luxury brands invest heavily in ornate packaging and oversized branding, we keep things streamlined: minimal packaging, clear materials, and classic styles. That helps our pieces stay competitive for anyone browsing for cheap men’s gold or affordable men’s jewelry while still expecting long-term wear.
In short: if you’re used to mall or luxury jewelry pricing, GoldNBoys will often feel cheaper for the same—or better—metal quality, especially on gold chains and everyday pieces. Check out our gold chains collection or our Under $200 collection.
Is GoldNBoys considered “affordable gold”?
Yes. GoldNBoys is built for people who want real gold and silver without luxury-store sticker shock.
- You’ll find 10k and 14k gold chains, bracelets, rings, and pendants at prices that are often significantly lower than what you’d see in many mall and brand-name stores for comparable styles.
- Our Under $200 section makes it easy to find budget-friendly options, especially in sterling silver and lighter-weight or hollow gold styles.
Gold Jewelry Questions
Is GoldNBoys gold jewelry real gold?
Yes. GoldNBoys uses real 10k and 14k gold in all of our gold jewelry. We do not sell gold-plated or gold-filled pieces. Depending on the style, our jewelry may be solid, hollow, or semi-hollow. Details that are always listed on each product page.
You can view all real gold styles in our men’s gold jewelry collection.
What’s the difference between 10k and 14k gold?
10k gold contains a lower percentage of pure gold, making it more durable and typically more affordable, ideal for everyday wear.
14k gold contains a higher percentage of pure gold, giving it a richer color and more premium feel.
Both are real gold and commonly used in men’s jewelry. You can compare styles across our
gold chains collection.
What does solid vs hollow vs semi-hollow gold mean?
These terms describe how much gold is used inside the chain:
- Solid gold chains are heavier and higher in price
- Hollow gold chains use less metal and are lighter and more affordable
- Semi-hollow gold chains strike a balance between weight and cost
Offering all three helps customers searching for cheap gold jewelry for men find options that fit their budget without sacrificing real materials. Learn more on individual product pages within our
gold jewelry collection.
Can I wear my gold chain every day?
Yes. GoldNBoys gold chains are designed for everyday wear, whether you’re at work or out for the night. Many customers prefer 10k gold and 14k solid and even semi-hollow for daily use due to durability and affordability.
Hollow gold is also very durable but should still be handled with a little more care. It is recommended to remove hollow pieces before any strenuous activity that may dent or damage the jewelry.
Browse everyday styles in our men’s gold chains collection.
Will GoldNBoys gold jewelry tarnish or fade?
Real 10k and 14k gold does not tarnish or fade like plated jewelry. With normal wear and basic care, your jewelry should maintain its appearance for years.
Can I shower with my gold chain?
Yes, real gold chains can handle water exposure. Removing jewelry before showering or swimming can help preserve shine and reduce long-term wear, especially for hollow or semi-hollow styles.
Silver Jewelry Questions
What kind of silver does GoldNBoys use?
All GoldNBoys silver jewelry is made with real .925 sterling silver, a durable and widely trusted material in men’s jewelry. We do not use silver plating or mystery alloys. Sterling silver offers a clean, classic look and is one of the most popular options for men searching for affordable silver jewelry that still holds up over time.
Explore available styles in our men’s silver jewelry collection.
Is sterling silver a good option if I’m looking for affordable men’s jewelry?
Yes. Sterling silver is one of the best choices for customers searching for cheap men’s jewelry without sacrificing quality. It offers a lower price point than gold while still being made from a real precious metal, making it a strong everyday option.
Many customers start with sterling silver pieces before investing in gold, especially when shopping for affordable men’s jewelry.
Will silver jewelry tarnish?
Sterling silver can naturally tarnish over time due to exposure to air and moisture. This is normal and reversible. With proper care and regular cleaning, your silver jewelry can maintain its shine for years.
How do I take care of my silver jewelry?
To keep your silver jewelry looking its best:
- Wash gently with warm water and mild soap
- Use a soft-bristle brush to remove buildup
- Polish regularly with a jewelry polishing cloth
For deeper cleaning, you can use an ultrasonic cleaner or a professional jewelry cleaning service.
About GoldNBoys
Who is GoldNBoys?
GoldNBoys is a men’s jewelry brand founded in Austin, TX. The idea came from a simple but frustrating experience: trying to find a meaningful Father’s Day gift that felt special without being wildly overpriced or obviously low quality. That search revealed how difficult it can be to find men’s jewelry that is well made, fairly priced, and clearly explained.
We created GoldNBoys to make that process easier by offering real gold and silver jewelry for men with clear information about materials, pricing, and care. You can learn more about our story on our
About Us page.
Can I trust GoldNBoys as a jewelry brand?
Yes. GoldNBoys is a real, operating jewelry business with clear ownership, published policies, and accurate product listings. We believe trust starts with transparency, which is why we clearly explain what each piece is made of, how it is constructed, and what to expect after you place an order.
When someone shops with us, they should never have to guess whether a piece is real gold, how long it will take to ship, or whether returns are accepted.
Why should I feel confident about the quality if the prices are lower?
Our prices are lower because of how we design and present our products, not because we cut corners on materials.
We offer a mix of solid, hollow, and semi-hollow gold styles so customers can choose a price point that fits their budget while still buying real gold. We also keep our packaging simple and practical, which helps keep overall costs down. These choices allow us to offer affordable men’s jewelry without relying on plated or imitation metals. You can read more about how we price our jewelry on our Our Pricing page.
Do you sell real gold and silver?
Yes. All gold jewelry sold by GoldNBoys is made with real 10k or 14k gold. Our silver jewelry is made with genuine .925 sterling silver. We do not sell gold-plated or silver-plated pieces.
For customers searching for cheap gold or silver jewelry for men, this means the price may feel more approachable compared to traditional jewelry stores, but the materials are still real.
Who is GoldNBoys for?
GoldNBoys is for anyone who wants to buy men’s jewelry with confidence, whether that is your first chain, a meaningful gift, or an upgrade from plated jewelry. Many people find us while searching for men’s jewelry, affordable jewelry, or cheap gold chains, and choose us because we explain our products clearly and set realistic expectations.
How do you support customers after purchase?
We believe trust continues after checkout. That is why we clearly communicate shipping timelines, return policies, and jewelry care guidelines before and after purchase.
If questions come up about sizing, materials, or delivery timing, customers can always reach us at support@goldnboys.com.
Is GoldNBoys a good place to buy men’s jewelry online for the first time?
Yes. Buying jewelry online can feel intimidating, especially when you are looking for affordable or cheap men’s jewelry. We work hard to remove that uncertainty by clearly explaining what you are buying and how the process works from start to finish.
