Czech Cathedral 8mm Art Deco Beads Crystal Clear /Silver Ends (10 pcs)

Beadaholique straightened everything out, and the beads pictured are in stock. (They offered to replace the ones I received, but I didn't find that necessary; the others are pretty too and perfectly usable.) I later ordered a set of these and they look even better than the photo - absolutely beautiful! Well worth the full price. I just ordered more! If you like Art Deco, you will love these beads in your designs. They are elegant, classy, and not something you see everywhere.

I ordered two sets of these beads and received them today. They don't look at all like the photos. The center section is proportionally longer and consists of flat rectangular facets, not the triangles shown. And the ends are not nearly as "stepped" as shown, as a result of which the silver coating does not show very well. Additionally, they are not 10mm. They are 8mm in length and 7mm in width. I thought I might have received the wrong beads, but the bags holding them say "Czech Cathedral 10mm Art Deco Beads Crystal Clear." Perhaps Beadaholique's supplier shipped the wrong beads? I'll be able to use them, but they are a disappointment compared to the photos.
