These size stones vary in price and intrinsic worth.

In October of 2010, a Barbie Doll donned a 1 carat pink diamond choker which was designed by Australian jeweler Stefano Canturi. The doll with the diamond piece was auctioned in Christie’s New York for over $300,000 US to benefit The Breast Cancer Foundation. This is said to be the most expensive Barbie ever auctioned.
