I use two part epoxy araldite glue and find it brilliant. The ones I glued about a year ago are still strongly attached and they get bashed about a fair bit. My Troll bracelet broke but the cores are still solidly on the glass beads.

Another excellent glass glue is 3M DP460, which is very good but really, really, really, really expensive  :( Use some acetone to clean and degrease the glass and metal before you stick. I use it for things I know I don't want to come appart, and warm glass sell it. They did a test were they hung a 50kg kiln from a silver bail stuck with it, the silver broke before the glue gave way  :o :o :o http://www.warm-glass.co.uk/images/pdfs/products/DP460%20Glue%20Advice.pdf
