Gnomes set new jewels (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gemstones

'jewels' is the definition.
(I know this)

'gnomes set new' is the wordplay.
'new' indicates an anagram.
'gnomes'+'set'='gnomesset'
'gnomesset' anagrammed gives 'GEMSTONES'.

(Another definition for gemstones that I've seen is " Emeralds and rubies, say".)
