You probably need to be a little more specific about what you are looking for. If it's round disks you might want to buy a punch set (Pepe Tools makes good ones) and sheet stock of the metal you want to use.

This firm has circles, ovals, teardrops and hearts. They come in sterling silver, nickel, copper and red brass.

Considering your location pricing could be a lot less if purchased from China or India, etc.
