Nine golden, 3D Maltese crosses adorn the front of this beautiful Elgin American compact. We have seen no others like it online at the time of this listing. The textured crosses are arranged in three rows of three, with golden-swirled centers. Each cross holds a single blue stone. High-gloss silver tone or chrome background provides nice contrast with the golden accents. Gold tone metal frames the mirror and is also used for the powder well. Please see more details below:
