Some jewellery may be scarlet in design (9)
I believe the answer is:
bracelets
'some jewellery may be scarlet in design' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'be scarlet in design' is the wordplay.
'in design' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'be'+'scarlet'='bescarlet'
'bescarlet' is an anagram of 'BRACELETS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for bracelets that I've seen is " Adornments for the wrist".)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
