Crossword Genius

Cash in fancy jewellery (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chains

'jewellery' is the definition.
(a chain is a type of a jewellery)

'cash in fancy' is the wordplay.
'fancy' is an anagram indicator.
'cash'+'in'='cashin'
'cashin' with letters rearranged gives 'CHAINS'.

(Other definitions for chains that I've seen before include "Restriction" , "help to pull?" , "Restraints; series" , "Cash in (anag)" , "Fetters" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
