Recalled dandy, never content to encrust diamonds (6)
I believe the answer is:
evoked
'recalled' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'dandy never content to encrust diamonds' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'content' could be 'ok' (OK is an example) and 'ok' is found in the answer.
'diamonds' could be 'd' (abbreviation in bridge say) and 'd' is present in the answer.
The remaining letters 'eve' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for evoked that I've seen before include "Brought back" , "Called up or inspired, say memories" , "Called to mind" , "Summoned to mind as from memory" , "excited" .)
