Totally get why it's infuriating but it does look pretty cool. Especially when it's so subtle you don't notice it easily without a closeup.

Mask and spray paint, maybe?
Rubber molding is probably the least-bullshit way to get it exactly right. Press or roll a bunch of little divots into some reasonably firm material you've made damn sure is level, pour in dark latex, get a thin sheet of flexible material with a bunch of bumps. Try to dip that bumps-down into a very shallow pan of metallic paint. Any goofs can be touched-up by hand.
The quick way is to run a paint roller over some bubble wrap.
Seriously though, if you spray-paint bubble wrap black, then run a sponge of gold paint over top, that'll just about do. I'd only worry about the spray paint somehow melting the thin plastic... and the inevitable damage to all your shiny bumps.
Do pre-strung sequins come spaced-out? I am unclear how those work. If their orientation can be fixed then you could get a little tool and snip each circle into more of a Pac-Man shape.
Oh - "honeycomb sequin" might do. Gold on black, then delete the bottom of each sequin.
