Aimed to change worker in glittering sequins? (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diamante

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

'glittering sequins?' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.

'aimed to change worker in' is the wordplay.
'to change' indicates an anagram.
'worker' becomes 'ant' (worker is a type of ant).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'aimed' with letters rearranged gives 'diame'.
'diame' placed around 'ant' is 'DIAMANTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for diamante that I've seen before include "glittery jewels" , "sparkling material" , "Rhinestone-covered" , "Decorated with small sparkling ornaments" , "Glittering fabric or costume jewellery" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
