Description
Reviews

Our gift to you with your Hope Diamond Barbie purchase! The 92-page book Blue Mystery: The Story of the Hope Diamond by Susanne Steinem Patch.

Collect this glamorous limited edition Hope Diamond Collector Barbie, modeled in spirit after the extravagant socialite who always accessorized her Paris frocks with her Hope Diamond. This striking redhead wears her replica Hope Diamond (the original 45.52-carat is displayed in our Natural History Museum’s Harry Winston Gallery) with an alluring fishtail gown with short sculpted sleeves, long white gloves and matching bracelet and earrings. Doll cannot stand alone. Plastic. 12.25"h.

Museum Provenance

Gems accumulate history. The very stone that once adorned a king or queen might today be set in someone’s cocktail ring. (The history of the Hope Diamond includes a stint in the French Crown Jewels, a daring theft, two recuttings, and purchase by an English king.) The astonishing replica collections presented on these next pages—a mere sampling of the extraordinary holdings in our National Museum of Natural History’s National Gem Collection—let you dazzle in their reflected glory.

Every Smithsonian purchase will arrive with a museum provenance card explaining how it is adapted from or inspired by an object or objects in our collection.

Comments about Hope Diamond Collector Barbie:

This was a present to myself for Christmas. This Barbie is so beautiful and is the perfect backdrop for the Hope Diamond. I am thrilled with this purchase, and honestly, I'm not a Barbie person. I couldn't ask for more.

My adult daughter was so pleased to see the
beautiful box with the promise of Barbi inside. Barbi is even prettier than the catalogue photo. My daughter showed everyone on Christmas.

I gave this to my granddaughter on her 30th birthday; she has a collection of rare dolls. Recently she was at the Smithsonian Museum and raved about the Hope Diamond, so she was delighted to receive the doll and the book about the diamond.

Comments about Hope Diamond Collector Barbie:

I am a collector of Barbies and the Hope Diamond Collector Barbie is truly unique. Not only is the doll herself lovely, but she is a lovely reminder of trips to the Smithsonian to see the Hope Diamond. She is not a doll that you will find at retail outlets.

Being a guy, I'm not much into dolls unless they're living dolls. The lady I bought Barbie for was very impressed with the doll and I got some brownie points, too.

Comments about Hope Diamond Collector Barbie:

This was a gift for a friend who collects Barbie dolls. This is an amazingly unique and beautiful Barbie that she is unlikely to find before she receives it as a gift. And the quality of the doll and her accessories were exactly what I expected after having read the description provided.
