August Birthstone Barbie Birthstone Beauties Collection! August Miss Peridot! Happy Birthday, August baby! Miss Peridot Barbie doll and a wonderful princess puppy bring you happy wishes for a fun-filled year! Glittering pale green, your birthstone is peridot. This gem is thought to give you a year of eloquence, confidence, and self-esteem. It is also believed that the stone brings you deepened friendships! History: What does your birthstone reveal about your life? Does it stand for a light heart and enduring affections? Glamour and regal elegance? Or even the gifts of health, wealth, and wisdom? If you want the answers, then check out the fabulous new Birthstone Beauties Collection, a new series of Pink Label dolls celebrating the precious gems symbolizing the months of our birthdays! With each doll named for the faux gemstones on their dazzling necklaces (Miss Emerald Barbie doll for May, Miss Sapphire Barbie doll for September, and so forth), the collection is inspired by the gifts of precious jewelry given throughout the ages. Though many sets of birthstones have appeared in different times, and across different cultures, the current calendar year list dates back 95 years. The Jewelers Of America, a national association for the retail jeweler, officially adopted the list followed by the Birthstone Beauties in 1912. And with the exception of a few stones added as less expensive substitutes for certain cut stones, these gems have stood the test of time, and their beauty is no less stunning to behold today. Each Birthstone Beauties doll wears a glittery lace dress with bolero jacket and sassy strapless heels, in shades designed to complement the necklace with faux gemstone pendants and matching earrings. And then they mix it up, each doll features a different combination of hair color and style, eye color, make-up and nail polish! But the cutest part isn’t an accessory, it’s the well-behaved princess puppies with each of the Birthstone Beauties, with matching leashes, collars, and crowns. W
