intaglio

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

'carving on gem' is the definition.
'intaglio' can be an answer for 'carving' (intaglio is a kind of carving). I'm not certain of the 'on gem' bit.

'i go with latin design' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'design' indicates an anagram.
'go' put after 'latin' is 'latingo'.
'latingo' anagrammed gives 'ntaglio'.
'i'+'ntaglio'='INTAGLIO'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

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