I was planning on making some wine bottle stoppers and need the stopper part. Does anyone have suggestions on type (silicone, metal, cork) and sources.

Robin,
I think that you will be pleased with these stoppers and Ruth's excellent reputation for quick service: http://nilesbottlestoppers.com/
Just finished placing an order myself!

I second with enthusiasm. Plus Ruth is a sweet lady.
+3 for Ruth Niles.
Ruth fo sure
+3 squared

+ whatever for Ruth.
Her stoppers are stainless steel, and made in the USA. Most others are chrome and will pit or peel with exposure to wine, salad dressings and stuff.

I don't make stoppers but have seen many imitations to Ruth's and hers are the best as far as quality, surely not the cheapest.
under full disclosure, she is a friend of mine.

A lot of options out there, it really boils down to your budget or market, if you are going to be selling them. Cheapest stainless ones that has been referred to me. I've not seen these in person. http://www.ezpots.com/bottlestopper.html
I have been using the BSs-133 stoppers from Ezpots (see above). They are the least expensive full size stainless stoppers I found. I have sold a bunch of these and had no complaints.
Can't say enough about Ruth's , and she's such a sweet lady to talk to & deal with
added to that, she's got every style you could ever want to incorporate with your designs.
hers are a little wider than most out there, meaning they'll fit into more bottles than most.
She's the only one I'll buy from in future 😉

Stoppers
I too support Ruth when I want stainless steel stoppers. My wife supports Grey Goose Vodka and I really like to repurpose the tops from the empty bottles. I did purchase a bunch from a supplier but like the GGV ones best. I have found that several of my customers had trouble getting white wine bottle in the refrigerator with a stopper that is high on the bottle, the way I utilize the GGV the topper sits MUCH lower on the bottle.
Here are a few shots of the parts and finished product.
Sorry about the quality of the iPhone photos.
