Making feeble slang for 'criticise a load of jewellery' (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

disabling

'making feeble' is the definition.

'slang for criticise a load of jewellery' is the wordplay.
'slang for criticise' becomes 'dis' (short for disrespect).
'load of jewellery' becomes 'bling'.
'dis'+'a'+'bling'='DISABLING'
