Vintage Trifari Black Enamel Door Knocker Earrings

Description
A pair of 1980s Trifari door knocker earrings, their fan-shaped drops divided into panels of black enamel and outlined in gold-tone. The angular lines borrow from Art Deco geometry, like light fanning out from a single point. Each drop swings freely from a polished rectangular top, giving the pair quiet movement. Signed on the reverse and made for pierced ears.
