'necklace' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'one fussing a lot about new' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'one' could be 'an' (an apple is one apple) and 'an' is found within the answer.
'lot' could be 'd' and 'd' is present in the answer.
'new' could be 'n' (abbreviation as in New Testament NT) and 'n' is found within the answer.
The remaining letters 'pet' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
