Own items of jewellery - that's foolish talk (9)
I believe the answer is:
haverings
'jewellery that's foolish talk' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.
'own items' is the wordplay.
'own' becomes 'have' (synonyms).
'items' becomes 'rings' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'have'+'rings'='HAVERINGS'
'of' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Independent.
