Vintage NABCO Solid 14K Gold Dangle Heart Earrings with White Topaz Accents
These vintage NABCO earrings are solid 14K yellow gold with a clean, fluid drop design that moves beautifully when worn đź’› Each earring features double serpentine chain strands suspending flat heart charms. The chains have that smooth, almost ribbon-like flow serpentine is known for, giving the drops a soft drape rather than a stiff hang.
The hearts are flat and highly polished — they appear textured in photos only because of strong reflection from the light box. In person, they’re sleek and mirror-like, catching light across the surface. At the top of each earring is a White Topaz accent, adding a subtle pinpoint shimmer without overpowering the gold ✨
The scale is balanced: long enough to feel elegant, light enough for daily wear. The construction is precise and refined, exactly what you’d expect from Nancy B. & Co. (NABCO), a respected California manufacturer known for thoughtful gold designs made for real-world wear. There’s nothing bulky or overworked here — just clean gold, movement, and proportion.
