    check out a model airplane/car/helicopter shop.
    I got some 'brass' looking brads there that where very small.
    Now they LOOK brass and I think they cost me as if they were brass but they stick to a magnet really well when I dropped them on the floor.

    What about escutcheon pins? 1.6mm dia and a nice decorative head. Try a restoration website. Or google it.

    Check out a boat building supply - you will be able to get all sorts of fixings usually in brass, monel or stainless steel - sizes range from tiny to large.
