Woman with eyes on family jewels? (7)
I believe the answer is:
heiress
'woman' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both people as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe there's a link between them I don't understand?
'eyes on family jewels?' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'on' could be 're' ('on' can be mean 'with reference to') and 're' is located in the answer.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for heiress that I've seen before include "Woman likely to succeed?" , "Inheritrix" , "One who will inherit wealth" , "Woman who's left something" , "Portia, say" .)
