Oyster’s gem (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pearl

'oyster's gem' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for pearl that I've seen before include "Gem; an attacked Harbor" , "piece of wisdom" , "Oyster growth" , "Small type" , "Much loved and valued person" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard, The Mirror, The New York Times and the Universal.
