(Originally posted on October 15th, 2013. This was a review that I made for this doll when it came out in 2013. I am in the verge of merging my previous blog with this one, and since I will be reviewing more dolls of this collection in the near future, I thought it pertinent to repost this review here. I will be deleting the old blog eventually and I know that a lot of people love this doll, reason why I wanted to share it here. It is easier this way than to go back and forth from one blog to the other. Enjoy)

Fabulously Immortalized


After two years of hunting for this doll, I finally made her part of my beloved collection. I love that I can be working and turn to my left, see my doll display case, and there she is, inspiring beauty to my day.


The Hope Diamond Barbie® doll is a breathtaking doll, worthy of any collector's display case. Her stunning dress and jewelry took my breath away ever since the first time I saw her. I knew deep within my heart, she had to be part of my collection.

Ever since I was little, I started collecting different things; trading cards, stamps, coins, books, comic-books, and toys. Among those toys I had action figures and dolls. Most of the dolls that I collected and continue to collect are Barbie® Dolls, because it was something that I feel connects me with my mother's childhood. My first dolls included some vintage dolls my mom had, plus my own. I was taught by my mom that if I really take care of my toys, that one day my children could enjoy them too. Worried about how economy tends to drastically change and affect entire families, I thought that collecting different things added value to your goods. You ended up having something that in case of an emergency you could sell, and let someone else enjoy.
