De Beers
To celebrate Barbie's 40th anniversary, Mattel partnered with the renowned South African–British jewelry company De Beers to outfit a doll in a full-length sheer skirt, a gold bikini top, a matching tangerine wrap, and a belt made of 160 diamonds from De Beers. The doll was never sold in retail stores; it went straight to auction and sold for $85,000.
The doll is the second-highest valued Barbie, behind the 2010 Stefano Canturi doll.
