Two permits for jewellery (9)
I believe the answer is:
bracelets
'jewellery' is the definition.
(I know that Bracelets is a jewellery)
'two permits' is the wordplay.
'two' becomes 'brace' (brace can mean two of something).
'permits' becomes 'lets' ('let' can be a synonym of 'permit').
'brace'+'lets'='BRACELETS'
'for' acts as a link.
(Another definition for bracelets that I've seen is " Adornments for the wrist".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
