Replicas are big business this year. Retailers quickly jumped on Britain's royal wedding, recreating everything from Duchess Kate's wedding gown to her sapphire and diamond engagement ring. And just recently, the "Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn" wedding gown, designed for Bella Swan by Carolina Herrera, had a near-identical replica ready for sale the weekend after the movie's release.

It's no surprise the queen of diamonds got the same treatment, albeit with some help from glittering fake jewels.
