They're fabric studs...with the fold over tabs snipped off....
They're often found in various shapes and sizes in craft stores, which are also a great source for plated wire and other usable modelling parts.

Before attempting it on a diecast, just try it with a plastic model kit.....
That would be a much less expensive and easily found starting material. Although I'm not personally interested in modern, high end rods (I call them 'bought rods'),I'd never try to sway someone towards my traditional tastes. To each, his own!

Thanks - I use the cheap rinestone trinkets sold at hobby shops (make jewelry) for taillights
