Place where jewellery may be for nobleman with award (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

earlobe

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

'place where jewellery may be' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'nobleman with award' is the wordplay.
'nobleman' becomes 'earl' (member of the nobility).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'award' becomes 'OBE' (Order of the British Empire).
'earl'+'obe'='EARLOBE'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for earlobe that I've seen before include "Soft part of a facial organ" , "It depends on the listener" , "low part of organ" , "Part of body" , "something of a listener" .)
