What shape bead are you looking for? Most bead caps are not used as bails as far as I know, but maybe a search for sterling end caps might turn up something.

Ones that mold to whatever shape the stone may be where I won't have to drill.

Try searching for bell caps. I found these: www.dreamlandjewelry.com/bell-cap-pendant-sterling-silver.html

Most bell caps I saw are pot metal. You may have to look harder for sterling ones.

This is a tough one. I found some that are not bell shaped, but more like caps. They do not conform to the shape of the stone. Can you use bead caps (without bails) and add a piece of sterling wire to them to form a loop?

It's been a while but I have seen them on one of those sites.
