Live commercial displaying piece of jewellery (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bead

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

'piece of jewellery' is the definition.
'bead' can be an answer for 'jewellery' (bead is a kind of jewellery). I am unsure of the 'piece of' bit.

'live commercial' is the wordplay.
'live' becomes 'be' (synonyms).
'commercial' becomes 'ad' (abbreviation for advertisement).
'be'+'ad'='BEAD'

'displaying' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bead that I've seen before include "Glass ball" , "Necklace element" , "Necklace component" , "Small ball with a hole through the middle" , "Spot of dew; one threaded on necklace" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
