Fly fishing supply place may get you the smaller sizes. Slotted tungsten beads and jig hooks to match. You can use a drop of glue to secure.

I'm not sure if I've seen 2 mm, but we have carried the 2.5mm fiska jigs from Your Bobbers Down for years.  They are tiny little guys with size 20 hooks. https://www.yourbobbersdown.com/product-p/handpainted.htm

I see Acme jigs noted above.  We sell a bunch of Acme '2mm' here too, and I'm not sure where Acme is measuring them, but they are equivalent to most brand's 4mm. Great jigs, but they definitely run bigger.

Yes...now I remember where I saw them!!! ;D. Excellent hooks. And 2.5 is tiny. I can't imagine trying to thread fish line through the eye of a 2mm.

Your right about the sizing it's best is to try and find out the weight of the jig.

Your Bobbers Down has them down to 2.5mm. Shark makes them down to 2.0mm, maybe even smaller. There are sellers on Ebay that sell Shark tungsten jigs but they usually ship from Latvia. Izumi Fishing and Shark Fishing are 2 other sellers may have them. Jigs smaller than 3.0mm are more popular in Scandinavia, Eastern European countries and the like than here in the states.
