In 2000, MiniMode teamed up with famed Gene repaint artist, Katharine Rayland and Marsha Olson from The Right Hatmosphere to create an OOAK doll for auction at the Belmont Ball. The doll was inspired by Maria Calla's "Tosca," a role she was perhaps most famous for.

For the transformation, the 20" Robert Tonner model required a miniature version of the early 19th century-styled parure that consisted of an elaborate 5 strand necklace, earrings and tiara. MiniMode researched many books, videos and pictures so that the jewelry could be reproduced as closely to the original as possible. After over 40 hours of work, the final result was an ensemble made with genuine garnets, 24kt-plated glass seed beads, gold-filled wire and 4 different styles of gold-filled chain.
