I have used acceccories with diamonds for that (not real diamonds tough :P ) I simpy glued them and they havent fallen off. You just have to check, that the size is right.
Here are some of the ponies i changed/repalced the diamonds back in the days.

I believe someone mentioned that Swarovski crystals were an exact match for G2?  Getting the correct color might be tricky though, and they aren't cheap.

There is someone in the customs forum that sells the replacement eye gems for G2's :)

You can replace adult G2 eye gems, but the babies are too small and I don't think anyone has found gems that are small enough for them.

I've used nail gems in the past which fit perfectly, and the colour wasn't too bad either. If I get time tomorrow, I'll try to get a photo of them

you can get gems small enough for the babies .  its either 1 or 1.5 mm stones, 
but finding the right colours can be the tricky part.
