I'd made different headdress (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

diadem

'headdress' is the definition.
(I know that diadem is a type of crown)

'i'd made different' is the wordplay.
'different' indicates anagramming the letters (letters placed in a different order).
'id'+'made'='idmade'
'idmade' with letters rearranged gives 'DIADEM'.

(Other definitions for diadem that I've seen before include "Jewelled headband" , "headwear" , "Royal crown" , "Tiara" , "Crown or similar adornment" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish News.
