Mattel has created many popular Barbie lines that stand the test of time, including this collection that we love: the Birthstone Barbies. There are more than one lines of Birthstone Barbies but the first was released in 2002. The dolls have become a popular collector’s item.
Some people are collectors who want to buy the entire collection because they love Barbie. Others just want the Barbie that represents their birthstone or buy them for a child to match their birth month.
Birthstone Barbies Birthstone Collection
Here are the 2003 Birthstone Barbies on Mattel’s site. Each doll is dressed in a floor length gown with gloves (you cannot see their shoes). The dress matches the color of the doll’s assigned birthstone.
There are 36 versions of Birthstone Barbies. Each month has 3 Barbies per birth month. They all look similar but with a different skin tone. They are wearing long gowns with a wrap. Each is wearing a birthstone necklace with their respective birthstone.
Birthstone Beauties Pink Label Collection
Next came the Birthstone Beauties in 2007 – see them here. These Barbies have a more contemporary look with shorter dresses and they all go by the name of Miss. Instead of just a birthstone necklace, they have a birthstone bracelet too! Each comes with a small puppy on a leash. The puppy’s leash and crown match and are in the same birthstone shade.

January Garnet Birthstone Barbie
Representative of the birthstone Garnet, this Barbie doll is dressed in a deep red, chiffon evening dress. With a hint of sparkle and sophisticated wrap, she exudes class and style. Of course she’s wearing a garnet necklace and bracelet too.
February Amethyst Birthstone Barbie
Pretty in purple, this Barbie’s dress reflects the rich tone of the amethyst stone. Dazzling in glitter, from head to toe, this Barbie is dressed in a beautiful ensemble.
March Aquamarine Birthstone Barbie
The Aquamarine Barbie is dressed in a gorgeous, pastel colored aqua dress, inspired by March’s birthstone, aquamarine. Similar to the others, she has added sparkle to really make the dress shine.
April Diamond Birthstone Barbie
This Barbie is clothed in an elegant white gown, that proves to be a perfect canvas to showcase the glitter in her dress. This color choice accompanied with sparkle is definitely reminiscent of the coveted sparkling diamond.
May Emerald Barbie
The Emerald Barbie has a similar dress design as the other Birthstone Barbies, but the rich, forest green color proves to be a very striking choice. It is definitely an accurate portrayal of the bold emerald stone.
June Pearl Birthstone Barbie
Although the color scheme for the Pearl Barbie has similarities to the Diamond Barbie’s attire, it is definitely different. A softer look is portrayed with a more cream undertone complimented with of course sparkle. The classiness of the cream evening dress definitely portrays the classiness associated with the delicate pearl.
July Ruby Barbie
Bold and beautiful are two words that come to mind when you see the Ruby Barbie. Her beautiful uniquely colored red hair accompanied with her rich in color red dress, is definitely a combination that cannot be ignored. This sparkly red evening wear is a great take on the Ruby stone.
August Peridot Barbie
The two different shades of green chosen for this dress bring a fun flare to a classic evening gown. This dress promotes the unique beauty of the peridot birthstone.
September Sapphire Barbie
A rich deep blue reflects the classy upscale feel of the sapphire. This color choice works well with the dress design.
October Opal Barbie
The iridescent color of the opal is represented nicely in this Barbie’s gorgeous evening gown. White with subtle shades of pink and blue inter dispersed throughout the dress really make this evening gowns color pop.
November Topaz Barbie
The topaz stone is creatively represented in this Barbie’s dress with a mauve tone accompanied with gold clusters of glitter. It is very pretty and unique, just like the topaz birthstone.
December Turquoise Barbie
This Barbie’s fun blue turquoise gown, accompanied by fun, bunches of blue glitter, is beautiful. The two tones capture the essence of the turquoise birthstone.
