I have several small lots of loose tahitians I am playing around with (all drop, baroque and semi-round). Nothing matches perfectly because you have 4 variables...length, width, body color and overtone...to deal with. Even having shopped for dangly ones, I never saw a pair that was 100% perfect.

That having been said, I have several pairs finished right now (may try a couple on ebay sometime...) that are *very* close. I also noticed that if you are willing to use gold or silver bead caps or larger beads to cover the tips of the drops, you are much more likely to get a match.
