The white residue around your superglue-applied metal findings is perfectly normal. You see, superglue outgases as it dries, and the fumes precipitate on nearby surfaces. (Remember your forensic crime dramas? They use this process to reveal latent fingerprints!)
To minimize this from happening, try to use less glue. Yes, less is more!
And make sure you have good ventilation when your glue is drying. If the piece is in a closed box, it intensifies the effect. (Yes, never glue on your earring backs and then immediately box up the order. The glue will fog your pieces.)
