eardrop

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'a piece of jewellery' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'every right to fall' is the wordplay.
'every right' becomes 'ear' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'to fall' becomes 'drop' (synonyms).
'ear'+'drop'='EARDROP'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eardrop that I've seen before include "It depends" , "A way to fill opening" , "little pendant" , "Piece of jewellery" , "piece for listeners" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
