Crossword Genius

Earrings finish inside drawers (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pendants

'earrings' is the definition.
(pendant earrings are a type of earring)

'finish inside drawers' is the wordplay.
'finish' becomes 'end' (synonyms).
'inside' indicates putting letters inside.
'drawers' becomes 'pants' (synonyms).
'end' going inside 'pants' is 'PENDANTS'.

(Other definitions for pendants that I've seen before include "Items of jewellery" , "Hanging ornaments, often on necklace" , "They hang around the neck" , "Bits of jewellery" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
