One perhaps makes you ring author (9)
I believe the answer is:
goldsmith
I believe this is a double definition.
'one perhaps makes you ring' is the first definition.
(a goldsmith might make a ring)
'author' is the second definition.
(18th-century writer Oliver Goldsmith)
(Other definitions for goldsmith that I've seen before include "Irish novelist" , "Benvenuto Cellini was one" , "artisan worker" , "Precious metal worker" , "classic author" .)
