What is the best way to "glue" regular polymer clay to metal clay. Both have been fired/baked.
Thanks

I've personally never done this but I'd think E-6000 would work well. Polymer has a little flex to it and E-6000 is best for any item with flex.

Have you any insight to share here?

E6000 should work well for this.
I personally find E6000 kinda goopy in a way that I have trouble managing.
Since both the silver and the poly clay are basically 'non-absorbent' so you could use 100% silicon sealers. These are goopy in a different way, so....
[personal preference]
.
I have done a lot of glass work, silicon is great for that and glass to metal connections; most hard plastics & other sealed surfaces - so I have more experience managing the silicon sealers.
Most things like the superglues are brittle and may hold well for a while but a sharp blow can crack the glue when you least expect it - same with epoxies
