I just took Tink's fabulous class; she makes them with discs of silver. Then, using a doming block and dapping set, you figure out what size disc you need and what dome size needs to be, and go from there. She also has some very cool metal stamps that we used before doming.

They have them at Metalliferous. http://www.metalliferous.com/pdf/sil...ed%20Discs.pdf I don't know what you'd use to make a hole though.
I got the doming and block set from Harbor Freight. It was very inexpensive. And I still can't use it properly. lol

Ooh, I'm going to have to get in on that Monsterslayer buy!
The benefit of making your own is you can customize them to the size and curvature of your bead. To get a hole in the middle, you can use a metal punch or drill with a flex shaft or dremel. In class we soldered jump rings to the top after texturing and doming.
I just posted photos in the gallery - I'll post more later, but I have to get dinner started.
