Stomach jewellery rapidly losing value (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tumbling

'rapidly losing value' is the definition.
(as in tumbling stock prices)

'stomach jewellery' is the wordplay.
'stomach' becomes 'tum' (synonyms).
'jewellery' becomes 'bling' (informal term for jewellery).
'tum'+'bling'='TUMBLING'

(Other definitions for tumbling that I've seen before include "Quickly declining" , "Falling down, as if collapsing" , "Rolling over and over, as a gymnast might" , "Falling headlong" , "Acrobatics" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
