Crossword Genius

Petty quarrel with a New York jeweller (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tiffany

'jeweller' is the definition.
(Tiffany and Co. is an American jewelry company)

'petty quarrel with a new york' is the wordplay.
'petty quarrel' becomes 'tiff' (I've seen this in another clue).
'with' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'new york' becomes 'ny'.
'tiff'+'a'+'ny'='TIFFANY'

(Other definitions for tiffany that I've seen before include "fine fabric" , "gauzy fabric" , "like a sort of glass" , "Girl's name - New York jeweller" , "US glass designer" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
