Ross

I believe the answer is:

eustace

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

'owner of trollope's diamonds' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'cut with ease perhaps?' is the wordplay.
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'perhaps?' indicates an anagram (I've seen 'perhaps' mean this).
'cut' put after 'ease' is 'easecut'.
'easecut' is an anagram of 'EUSTACE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for eustace that I've seen before include "The - - Diamonds (Trollope)" , "Man's name" , "Fellow" , "guy" , "Man" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
