I've found an online gift shop that has eight styles of compacts in
golden and silver finish (some are two-tone.)

These range in price from $10.00 to $15.00. Gift boxes are available.

Here are some photos of the different styles:

If these compacts are the sort of thing you are looking for, I'll be
glad to tell you where to purchase them, as an answer your question.
If these items are not suitable, it would be very helpful if you could
give more details about precisely what you need, so that we can better
assist you.

Thanks!

HI

THESE ARE SORT OF WHAT I'M LOOKING FOR BUT I'M LOOKING FOR BETTER
QUALITY....MORE THE $50.00---$100.00 RANGE.  SOMETHING NOT ORDINARY
BUT MORE SPECIAL.  BEADED OR GOLD.  I WANT THIS TO BE VERY SPECIAL,
NOT JUST AN ORDINARY COMPACT FOR $10.00.    THANK YOU

When you say "gold," will you accept golden-colored? A solid gold
compact would almost certainly cost much more than $100.

GOLD COLORED OR BEADED WOULD BE OK BUT I AM LOOKING TO SPEND UPWARD OF
50-100 DOLLARS BECAUSE I WANT REALLY GOOD QUALITY. MAYBE STERLING EVEN
BUT I WANT IT TO BE BETTER QUALITY THAN THE ONES YOU SHOWED ME
ORIGINALLY FOR 10-15 DOLLARS SINCE IT IS A SPECIAL BIRTHDAY PRESENT. 
THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

I found a new (not vintage or antique) gold compact at this address

http://www.spminiatures.com/dhpers.htm

It is just under $60 (the item is gold-plated). The only new beaded
compacts I can find are at

http://www.lnt.com/collection/collection_7040.asp?strShopperId=547EB37896DA6B7F0F962ED4AD60C596656B877F0BA636FF

but they seem to be in a price range you're not interested in.

On the other hand, there are many sources for silver plate and
sterling silver compacts.
