Van Regemorter C. & L. of Brussels, founded in 1876 by sister & brother Clémence (1841-1918) and Louis Van Regemorter (1850-1926). Louis continued the firm under his own name after his sister’s retirement in 1906 until at least 1920, but probably not much longer. They were primarily maufacturing jewelers, and were probably merely the retailers of your piece. Still: nice connection with one of the very few women in the trade at the time; prior to founding the firm, Clémence had worked for Brussels jeweler & chemist Jean Antoine Hubert (1816-1889).

Sorry this took so long; been very busy!

@ Blakstone,

Thanks again for the detection of the maker's mark.
For me, another mystery solved.
I've learned that I have to be patient. :)
So an apology was not necessary.
I had a silent hope that you would react. ;)))
Thanks
