For over 75 years ladies powder compacts have proven themselves to be not only useful but also creative and beautiful. And now they are highly collectable. Gold, silver, jeweled or tooled it doesn't matter. We love them all.
Do you like the background of this website? It is one of the most beautiful compacts I have ever owned. Unfortunately I sold it a couple of years ago and have regretted it every since. It was a two-tone compact made of 800 silver and gold plate. There are 42 small rubies, eighteen small blue sapphires and 43 square emeralds. All of these gems formed a floral motif on the filigree top of the compact. Simply Beautiful !
Moral of the story you ask? If you see something you want buy it now or you may never get another chance. And once you have something in your collection that you really love don't let it go at any price.
