Description

Join Cynthia Rutledge on zoom September 19, 2026 from 11-5 EST to create a mirrored compact.  Or what if it’s a needle case?

Here’s Looking at You! is a small, decorative compact. Colored aluminum metal is used for the front and colored, patterned, metal is used in the back of the compact. A central cushion cut CZ is bezeled and surrounded with set CZs for a striking focal point for the lid. The mirror is inside and is simply bezeled. A beaded hinge has set CZs on the ends and helps to control how far back the lid will fold. A bezeled CZ along the front edge of the lid is a faux closure. How lovely to use this beautiful piece to check your makeup or put on some lipstick. Here’s looking at you!
