Ring that goes with fancy earrings in storage container (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

organiser

'storage container' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'ring that goes with fancy earrings' is the wordplay.
'ring' becomes 'O' (letter resembling a ring).
'that goes with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fancy' indicates an anagram.
'earrings' with letters rearranged gives 'rganiser'.
'o'+'rganiser'='ORGANISER'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for organiser that I've seen before include "Runner" , "arranger" , "storage container" , "One making arrangements" , "One managing" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
