Definition of Door Knocker Earrings from the 1990s :  Earrings that have a section with a hinged bottom that hangs below the ear lobe.

My definition of Door Knocker Earrings of 2012: Earrings that will look great on any door in my apt, may not be used to alert me when someone wants entrance into my home, but the door-knocker earrings can be stared at, photographed, worn, borrowed and defined as small hanging pieces of art.
