Crossword Genius

Jewelled item found in Croatia rarely (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tiara

'jewelled item' is the definition.

'in croatia rarely' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates a hidden word.
'TIARA' can be found hidden inside 'croatia rarely'.

'found' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tiara that I've seen before include "Ornamental head band" , "Jewelled head wear" , "Pope's triple-tiered crown" , "pope may have been topped by one" , "Ornamental crescent-shaped headdress or Pope's diadem" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
