Ban priest's awful jewellery (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

breastpin

'jewellery' is the definition.
(I know that breastpin is a type of pin)

'ban priest's awful' is the wordplay.
'awful' indicates anagramming the letters.
'ban'+'priest'='banpriest'
'banpriest' with letters rearranged gives 'BREASTPIN'.

(Another definition for breastpin that I've seen is " decoration at the front".)

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