Appears to be just what it says and just what I wanted!
Summary:Very good sorting, all as described, nice solid stainless steel shine, smooth edges, perfect size selections for all the ideas running through my head! Thank you very much. Would recommend completely so far!For the more curious and/or patient:My first good sign upon receiving these (and quickly, too! They came to my door after less than a day, since I ordered them the previous evening)? I checked and saw that all the pieces were there, separated out into mostly the right bags (one or two hopped into a similar sized bag but all the numbers ended up exactly what they should be), so that was a pleasant time saver, as you know how products can show up sometimes.I hand counted each bag of 20 stainless steel caps and they were there, in the right numbers, items, colors, and shapes. It’s honestly not an easy thing to sort these into little bags all day, even if you use a machine since the differences can be subtle in some cases I’m sure, so someone was on the ball checking that, or doing it my hand, and I appreciate the work and don’t take that for granted! We shouldn’t get so mad about things, at least as I often see people get haha. I usually never complain about a few little missing pieces in a little kit or something like this, so I figure it deserves a compliment when done well.I also measured the width of the bottoms and what you see in the pictures, if there are numbers and you’re curious, is my just own stickers for my sorting system in case of slight variations - very slight if at all in this case it seems so far, but it happens and can often be expected when buying a lot of similar jewelry parts you know. You can ignore those numbers for your own uses really. My way of measuring depends on what I’m doing with a thing so you should probably go by the sizes listed, I would say, and there’s enough intended variety between each of the sorted sizes that I doubt you’ll have a problem at all. You should see some examples of the two tiniest sizes and the largest one in the photos. (I didn’t measure the height through the cap, just the bottom diameter, and several of the sizes would have worked for my project with a tiny bit of application of crafting/jewelry pliers to customize the fits.)The bottom bell width was my main concern as far as sorting, since I first chose these for mounting my smallest Herkimer “Diamond” Quartz pieces my husband and I brought back from a surprisingly fun and rewarding in-state camping vacation up in Herkimer NY, during the worst of the pandemic travel restrictions, and we really did get a pretty great haul of several good quartz sizes in the classic Herkimer (double terminated points) “Diamond” shape, as well as some larger rounder pieces, but unless you want to pay for them to be mounted and set at the camp mining store there aren’t too many great options to make them into jewelry for normal daily wear (though those clear pearl/enamel charm keepsake pendants or other glass/plastic lockets can work on the smallest sizes - but, do test the hinges if it’s not a solid screw-on front face or tight closed tube, and don’t trust anything too precious to be protected from anything but dust by magnets and glass if you’re wearing it around!- and spiral style bead cages work on my largest, but they’re just not custom enough for what I wanted here, always somehow too big or too small, or even just in the way of the stone’s sparkle).Basically, if I want it to be the way I want it, I’ve learned to make a thing myself as I can learn how to without professional training - I even thought of making my own bell caps, but these aren’t expensive and I’m sure are much better than I could fashion at the moment, especially when I want to use a tougher but still sleek, low maintenance metal like stainless steel!I think these bell caps should be exactly what I need in any size (with a little bit of tooling the shapes with my jeweler pliers, a dab of very good epoxy, a careful clamp, and the universe’s good grace at least - don’t worry if you’re not used to making your own settings, these have no rough edges, they’re well made as far as I can feel, and you can just try some recommended and rated glue made for exactly this kind of thing if you’re nervous - the internet is full of tutorials for anything like this, even if you only have a single piece of pretty wire, you can do it)!I also will likely use the larger caps for making more finished pendants or earrings from my collection of stone or crystal beads (usually I just slide them onto wide bottom head pins and curve the end over to make an earring or a necklace if I like a bead, very low key and simple, so the stone speaks for itself, but for some presents you may want to up the style sometimes) when I want to keep life simple, or make a custom gift, or even choose something quickly for a friend who’s interested in reiki or the symbolism of certain gemstones. The largest size might work as a minimalist cap of a set of mantra/prayer beads, over the string tassel-tied bead for which I usually can’t find a cap to suit my simple taste. I can see a lot of potential with my little hand held sheet metal punch in customizing the bigger ones.Anyway, these are well made, nicely packed, and really just what I was looking for, I have no doubt these caps will certainly come in useful. So far, so happy! And no worries; if anything about that changes, I usually will update the review. :)Good luck!

I love the different sizes!!
I love all the different sizes - I could not find these in ANY bead store locally. Once I saw this on Amazon displaying the different sizes, I felt like I hit the jack pot! lol... They come in a cool plastic box too, which is very convenient

Bent eyes, off center
As described accept 1 out of every three either has a bent eye, or is off center. That may not be an issue to some, but for me I use these tops to hold a stone on balance. If its off, or bent, it does not work. I have tried bending them back but they snap pretty easy. My smaller sizes were pretty much all off center pretty bad.
