top drilled briolettes

Hi
I'm new to jewelry making and I want to buy some top drilled
briolettes, either pink tourmaline or aquamarine. I don't mind whether
they are real or lab created ( as I think they would look the same -
to an amateur).

Most of the ones I have seen on ebay are cross drilled - plus they
have a really wide range of prices.

Does anyone have advice on what I should be looking for - -or where I
might obtain these ( I am in England, but am quite happy to purchase
internationally).

Thanks for any help you can offer

Katharine
