I was all set to chunter [again] about meaningless ellipses but these dots are not an ellipsis – they’re MORSE code, into which we have to put O [nothing]: I can’t see any significance in them standing for S S but that doesn’t mean there isn’t any.

I must be missing something here but I can’t see anything at all cryptic: the Koh-i-noor comes from India and is a jewel in the Queen’s crown: for me, it would be more cryptic if the clue were the other way round. Edit: see muffin @4 and Herb @6

Very much against the pointless subject of "rickrolling" (6)
I haven't cracked this one yet — but Fifteensquared have:
This looked impossible at first sight, as I’d never heard of “rickrolling” but Wikipedia came to the rescue: “Rickrolling is an Internet meme involving the music video for the 1987 Rick Astley song “Never Gonna Give You Up”. The meme is a bait and switch; a person provides a hyperlink which is seemingly relevant to the topic at hand, but actually leads to Astley’s video.” and I eventually found this So it’s V [against] + ASTL[e]Y [without E – point]
