You know how you are sitting in front of the television set, and you view a commercial for a burger, and it is the best thing you would have ever seen? Then you visit the restaurant, and it doesn't look anything like what was shown on TV. Not to mention it doesn't taste good, but it never looks the same. This can be true when you buy beads online. Maybe your probabilities are high with the beads than the burger.
It is very common with beads, that the image you see on the internet, is enlarged, so that you see color and detail better. On that point it is also lit for the visual with a lot of bright, lights set up to achieve a perfect lighting effect. Reality is often different than the advertisement we are shown.
Where size is involved, that is a thing you learn with experience. I would recommend that having a ruler ready. Don't laugh, here in America, although we are taught the metric system, it still isn't popular. Most, if not all beading dimensions, are specified in millimeters. Millimeters can seem very small if you aren't familiar with them, but a ring with a five millimeter setting in it will be pretty big on the wrong hand. Keep the ruler handy at first to help you quickly see it to get a better idea of size when you buy beads online. It might not be a bad idea to carry it with you, to measure beads in the store, so that you get a better understanding of what five millimeters represents in three dimensions.
Don't forget the lighting effects I stated either. A navy blue stone on the web might look pretty much perfect for your project, but once at home, and in the regular lighting of your drawing room, it may be so dark as to appear to be black. Sparkle is the same way. Although it may be wonderful on the screen, it very well could lose it's pizazz as it arrives at your door.
I am not suggesting you not to buy beads online, quite the contrary. On line generally allows you to purchase in bulk and reduced rates. But it will take some acclimation to acquiring your materials this way.
