Barbie is seen wearing diamonds and seems to be enjoying them too. While the womenfolk are still longing for the diamond bracelets and rings, Barbie has been seen wearing the Barbie diamond necklace and these are real diamonds.
Just last week the Barbie diamond jewelry went under the hammer and was auctioned off for a record breaking price to an anonymous bidder. Barbie might have thousands of fans all over the world by not too many of them would be able to afford a staggering amount of $302,500 that was paid at the auction held in New York last week.
The proceeds of the auction will now go to the Breast Cancer Research Foundation and the funds would be utilized to help the cancer patients as well as their families.
The Barbie diamond jewelry is a creation by Stefano Canturi. Barbie is seen wearing a strapless black gown with a choker that has a one-carat square cut pink diamond. Canturi feels that this unique Barbie is not just a mere doll but a great investment because of the diamonds. This is the highest price that has ever been paid for a Barbie.
People are looking for unconventional ways to invest and this sort of an investment is in a way conventional as the investment is made in gold or precious gems. This is something that they will hold on to and cherish for years to come.
Creating rare and interesting pieces that are part of Hollywood history as well as culture has always been the designer’s forte and there was no way that he would miss the chance to design the Barbie diamond jewelry. He was invited by Mattel to create an iconic Barbie and this was the way he paid homage to the timeless and yet modern Barbie. Since the designer is very fond of cubism, a pink square-cut diamond was chosen.
It is not just the little girls who are fond of Barbie dolls and their accessories. Barbie comes in all her beautiful outfits and elegant accessories. The latest craze seems to be the Barbie diamond jewelry. These are for the grown up girls and they come in a beautiful collection of silhouette Barbie head necklaces. These are part of the silhouette collection and have been created by Layna and Allan Friedman. There are a collection of necklaces in classic sterling silver in white, rose, yellow gold. These come in Barbie silhouettes with a ponytail options and also in the Luxe version that is covered with Pave set diamonds.
