It's elevating for none, being excited by flashy accessories (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ennobling

'it's elevating' is the definition.
(ennobling is a kind of elevating)

'none being excited by flashy accessories' is the wordplay.
'being excited' indicates an anagram.
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'flashy accessories' becomes 'bling' (I've seen this in another clue).
'none' with letters rearranged gives 'enno'.
'enno'+'bling'='ENNOBLING'

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ennobling that I've seen before include "Honouring" , "Entitling" , "Making one count, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
