Golden one may be seen in Court? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

coronet

'golden one may be seen in court?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'golden one may be seen in court?' is the wordplay.
'golden' becomes 'or'.
'may be seen in' is an insertion indicator.
'court?' becomes 'ct'.
'or'+'one'='orone'
'orone' placed within 'ct' is 'CORONET'.

(Other definitions for coronet that I've seen before include "Jewelled headgear for peer" , "Not genuine" , "brass embellishment" , "jewelled headdress" , "mark of noble rank?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
