Jewellery calls for attention to collar (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earring

'jewellery' is the definition.
(earring is a kind of jewellery)

'attention to collar' is the wordplay.
'attention' becomes 'ear' (ear is a kind of attention).
'to collar' becomes 'ring'.
'ear'+'ring'='EARRING'

'calls for' is the link.

(Other definitions for earring that I've seen before include "Ornament on lobe" , "Aural pendant" , "Piece of jewellery" , "Item of jewellery" , "Otic adornment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
