I would say it would depend on the density of the glass, the type/size of the wire...but yes, it can be done...I have some glasses with metal on it, so why not wire....also, of course, heat is a major factor...

The factor you need to look into more, I think, would be the different coefficients (expansion/contraction rates) of the materials. I doubt sincerely that it would stand up to a freeze/rapid thaw test....but hey, ya never know til you try.
Sure, there's lead in crystal...but the chemistry of it all is entirely different - as the lead has some how bonded with the silica? Not the same at all as having a piece of copper (or whatever) imbedded in glass.
I'd imagine you'd have to be extra careful with cooling rates as well.
Now you've got me curious....lol.

Oh, my, yes. I'm learning how to make beads and have managed to fuse about four of them onto my steel mandrels.

Yes even some crystal has lead in it.
