Which jeweler created the diamond necklace worn by the 2010 Stefano Canturi Barbie?

Stefano Canturi created the diamond necklace worn by the 2010 Stefano Canturi Barbie.

The doll was developed as a luxury collector piece and was distinguished by a miniature necklace designed by Australian jeweler Stefano Canturi. Its jewelry, rather than a complex historical costume, was the central fashion feature.

The release attracted attention because it connected Barbie with high jewelry and charity fundraising. It is sometimes incorrectly attributed to famous jewelry houses such as Tiffany & Co. or Cartier, but the named designer for this piece was Canturi.

This Barbie belongs to a different tradition from Mattel’s mass-market fashion dolls. Luxury editions use precious materials, custom craftsmanship, and limited availability to position the doll as a collectible object.
