halo

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

'shining ring' is the definition.
'halo' can be an answer for 'ring' (synonyms). I'm not sure about the 'shining' bit.

'inside worth a look' is the wordplay.
'inside' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'HALO' is hidden within 'worth a look'.

Can you help me to learn more?
