They are also not "wedding cake beads" in my opinion.

I troll eBay quite a lot. I send many messages to sellers, trying to help them provide better more-accurate descriptions. And lately I have noticed that items from England, particularly London, tend to have quite high asking prices. But there are some bargains occasionally too.

These beads are fioretti—which is to say "flower beads." They are certainly nice enough. But I would not pay the price.
