I also bought the blue iolite earrings that look like these. You can read that review too - had the same problem with those. The earrings I received do *not* look like the online picture at all. This picture makes the beads appear to "cascade" from one side of hoop to the other. Not so. The beads are hung one on top of the other on 7 wires that just hang down in straight lines from the hoop. My guess is that what is pictured here is not the same as the product being delivered. Irregulars maybe?
