Here's a bit of memorabilia for Barbie fans who are now all grown up, with bigger bank accounts, yet with a continued fascination with the epitome of girly pop culture icons.
This Barbie necklace costs a small fortune, with prices getting up to $15,000. I could see this doing well in the Asian markets where customers flock to buy luxury Hello Kitty items.
If you're in love with the necklace but don't have the budget, don't despair. The Barbie Rocks collection by Layna and Alan Friedman also has adorably feminine items that cost as little as $8.
