Can someone direct me to a good source for jewellery molds. I live in WA so the closer the better but will look at all of course.

Dear Wendy Kelsey,
If you get hold of a copy of one of the Lapidary magazines you should
find a source of ready made wax models for metal casting. But I am not
sure that is what you are seeking. What do you mean by "Jewellery
Moulds"

Well for pendants and earrings that would be made from slip/clay. So molds for that.

Dear Wendy,
Perhaps you would find ideas in the following book.
Sue Heaser, "Polymer Clay Techniques Book". ISBN 1-86155-628-4. PP
55-6 give instructions for using simple and two part moulds.
You may find ready made moulds at outlets which supply Polymer Clay.
It is fairly easy to make your own moulds from Potter's Plaster or
Plaster of Paris
Have fun
Best regards,
Ivor Lewis
