Couple allowed to make some personal adornment (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bracelet

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'some personal adornment' is the definition.
'bracelet' can be an answer for 'adornment' (bracelet is a kind of adornment). I'm not certain of the 'some personal' bit.

'couple allowed to' is the wordplay.
'couple' becomes 'brace' (brace can mean a pair of something).
'allowed to' becomes 'let' (to let something happen is to allow it).
'brace'+'let'='BRACELET'

'make' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bracelet that I've seen before include "Personal ornament" , "Item of jewellery on wrist" , "Let caber be made into a piece of jewellery" , "Wrist, arm adornment" , "Rebel cat (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
