Girl you reportedly allowed to make a small ring (7)
I believe the answer is:
annulet
'a small ring' is the definition.
(ring surrounding a column in architecture)
'girl you reportedly allowed' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'Ann' (woman's name).
'reportedly' shows a homophone (sound like).
'allowed' becomes 'let' (to let is to allow or permit).
'you' is a homophone of 'u'.
'ann'+'u'+'let'='ANNULET'
'to make' is the link.
(Other definitions for annulet that I've seen before include "Heraldic small ring" , "small charge" , "Band around a column; heraldic ring" , "Small band around a column" , "Small ring (heraldry)" .)
