Small bundle holds diamonds: rector finds storage in kitchen (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spice rack

'storage in kitchen' is the definition.

'small bundle holds diamonds rector' is the wordplay.
'small' becomes 's' (abbreviation - e.g. clothes size).
'bundle' becomes 'pack' (pack is a kind of bundle**).
'holds' is an insertion indicator.
'diamonds' becomes 'ice' (I've seen this before).
'rector' becomes 'r'.
'ice'+'r'='icer'
'pack' enclosing 'icer' is 'picerack'.
's'+'picerack'='SPICE RACK'

'finds' is the link.

(Another definition for spice rack that I've seen is " Storage for cloves, garlic etc".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
