These are the coolest compacts I have ever seen. They are actually gold plated; yes, that's right...real gold! The mirror measures approx 2.75 x 2.25 inches. Inside there are two mirrors, one regular and one magnification. The outside is decorated with enamel and Swarovski crystals (don't forget the gold plating). Each compact comes complete with a little satin lined black vinyl carrying case so it won't get scratched in your purse.
