Because is the holiday season we found something worth giving – the Most Expensive Barbie Doll in the World.
For your little princess nothing is too expensive and this is something worth giving- the Most Expensive Barbie Doll in the World – but not just a Barbie, the real deal and it’s one of a kind.
Since its debut in 1959, the Barbie doll has kept up with the times and trends.
She has become a cultural icon who has been given honors that are rare in the toy world.
Plus she has inspired designers and professionals from around the world such as Christian Dior, Calvin Klein, Versace, Vera Wang, Couture and many more, to create the doll of their dreams.
And today one of them, made the Most Expensive Barbie Doll in the World.
Who came up with the idea of making such an expensive Barbie doll?
Mattel commissioned the famous Australian jewelry designer Stefano Canturi and together they created the Most Expensive Barbie Doll in the World.
It was sold at an auction in 2010 at $332,000 to an anonymous bidder, with all proceeds donated to Breast Cancer Research Foundation in conjunction with breast cancer awareness month.
This doll definitely got the looks: blonde, 11.5 inches tall, with a black strapless evening dress and a bejeweled choker, Barbie is decorated with a stunning Canturi neck piece made up of 3.00 carats of white diamonds surrounding a collectable 1.00ct square emerald (cut) pink diamond worth more than the average U.S. home.
A diamond Cubism ring sparkling on her right hand completes the jewelry set.
The pink diamond was especially hand-picked for & inspired by Barbie and is a registered tendered stone from the Australian Argyle mine.
The 1.00ct square emerald (cut) diamond, notable for its distinctive purplish pink hue, is a rare and unique collector’s item, and it is substantially more valuable than its white diamond equivalent.
This one was made to coincide with the launch of the Barbie Basics Collection in Australia.
I’d say is a perfect gift for a little girl or for an older one because is a great collectible and its price might get bigger over the years.
