1980's Unsigned Dior Bijoux Necklace and Earrings

Hi There:

My mother has a Dior Bijoux necklace/earring costume set from 1983 which she purchased at I. Magnin in San Francisco to wear to her 25th reunion, which back then cost over $130.00. Recently, she gave me the set and other of her 80's jewelry to sell online since she's always kept everything in impeccable condition. I even have the box it came in when she purchased it and remember the day she brought it home.

My issue is this: Nowhere on the necklace or the earring set is a signature, date, number or any marking and I can't find a place where there might be a visual catalog of Dior costume jewelry pieces sold in 83 (it may have been made in 82, I'm not sure). Everyone who contacts me is asking about it being signed. Is there any way to identify the set?
