The C clasp is handmade. About the maker: Highly prestigious maker Charles Packer was first in a partnership with William Brady, but their partnership was dissolved in 1839 and Packer carried on as a jeweler, pearl bead and coral dealer at the same address at 78 Regent Street, London W. until 1880. From 1880 until 1917 the business traded as Charles Packer & Co and then as Charles Packer & Co Ltd until c. 1932. Charles Packer was the major London supplier of mourning costume and accessories in the second half of the 19th century (Queen Victoria's reign) and a Charles Packer jewelry set is on display at the British Museum in London. From at least the 1920s Charles Packer & Co was known to have been the official distributor for Rolex watches in London. Condition commensurate with age and use. The opals have surface-reaching cracks and inclusions visible with a jeweler's loupe.
