Everyone plus one in sea on piece of jewellery (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

medallion

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

'piece of jewellery' is the definition.
'medallion' can be an answer for 'piece' (I have seen 'piece of meat' mean 'medallion' so perhaps 'piece' could also mean 'medallion'). I am not sure about the 'of jewellery' bit.

'everyone plus one in sea on' is the wordplay.
'everyone' becomes 'all' (all people).
'plus' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'one' becomes 'I' (Roman numeral).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'sea' becomes 'med' (short for Mediterranean).
'all'+'i'='alli'
'med'+'on'='medon'
'alli' placed inside 'medon' is 'MEDALLION'.

(Other definitions for medallion that I've seen before include "Metal disc" , "Ornamental disc on a chain" , "Cut" , "Decoration worn round the neck" , "Circular piece of meat - commemorative award" .)
