Silver and gold are too much for her (4)
I believe the answer is:
vera
'her' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'silver and gold are too much' is the wordplay.
'are too much' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (the clue hides the answer plus unneeded letters).
'VERA' is hidden within 'silver and gold'.
'for' is the link.
(Other definitions for vera that I've seen before include "A girl to rave about" , "__ Lynn, the forces' sweetheart" , ".. Lynn, aloe ..." , "Dame -- Lynn, singer" , "Duckworth, Lynn" .)
