Box for a piece of jewellery (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clip

This clue is a triple definition!

'box' is the first definition.
(both can mean to hit someone)

'for' is a link.

'a piece' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'of' is a link.

'jewellery' is the third definition.
(I know that clip is a type of jewellery)

(Other definitions for clip that I've seen before include "part for one that's the bulldog type?" , "Film extract; light blow" , "Cut - part of film" , "Extract; cartridge" , "Trim; jewellery item" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail and The Irish News.
