Doorknocker
Longer, wider hoop earrings, or other design, fitted onto an earpost and dangles free. Resembles a house doorknocker, thus the name. Hilary Duff usually sports a lot of doorknockers.
If you like this style of earring, try these Gold Heart Doorknockers ($10).

I wore square door knockers in high school. I don't think they'll look as good on me know.
1I don't really love earrings like these...I find most of them to be too heavy on my ears.
2where i come from, that is the style for the girls but i opt for other kind of earrings...but if i want to feel more hoochie on a day then i go for those...
3o yes... I own a pair of doorknockers with my name on them..lol..dont hate..it was the style where i grew up but i could never afford them..so i bought them in college haha
4yeah, i don't think doorknockers really fit me. LOL but marni, i remember there was this picture of jennifer lopez with a name plated pair on & i wanted to copy her so badly!!
5Definitely not my style. I personally think they are not the most...well...Ambie_White said it--it's got that "hoochie" look to it.
*Don't kill the messenger*
6oo hoochie hoochie..they actually represent urban culture to me..at least in nyc where i grew up ..i guess that makes me a hooch! oo..and my mom and sisters that like to wear hoop earrings..
7I think they are too big. Well, I don't wear earrings anyway
8My sister still wears these, my mom and I don't like them. But there cute when ur dressing up in a a coral jumpsuit and a kangol.
9I cant do the knockers they dont fit my face or style but all my friends rock them hard!!
10Wow, doorknockers are nothing new. As Marni7 stated, they are apart of urban culture that gained popularity in the mid-late '80's. I have several pairs back in the day too
I remember first seeing them on Salt n' Pepa in thier 'Push It'. I wanted an pair so bad!!
