I subscribed just to comment on this post, lol. I sold costume jewelry at Neiman Marcus in the 80s, I'm sure I sold those Givenchy earrings and necklace many times over. On the American side of Royal costume jewelry, Carolee did an entire collection based on the Duchess of Windsor's jewelry, I believe after it had gone to auction. I remember a peacock brooch as a highlight of the collection. Just Googled and it's going for close to $200! Also interesting to learn that the jewelry, at least, is deliberately not supposed to be exact to ward off lawsuits, wonder if that's the case for the clothing as well?
