Some flute keys are available from Votaw but they are new and probably a bit pricey for your purpose (whatever that is - jewelry?):

Have you tried a local music repair shop? Many keep a bone pile of unrepairable instruments to use as a source for parts. You might find something that way.
I often see instruments that are broken or need repair on eBay. I've bought a few that way to get parts for repairs. I have occasionally seen assortments of keys on eBay.
Check out yard sales, estate sales, or Craigslist.
If you can't find what you want from one of those sources, let me know. I have a bone pile with some junk flutes for parts, etc. that might meet your needs.
