Is something put on the stones to make them sparkle more when you first get them, or is it the oil from your hands that dulls them? I got the TSV JR earrings and when I first took them out of the pouch they had so much more fire. It happened with other faux diamonds too. I don't know much about diamonds but do these types of stones have more sparkle under artificial light than daylight, or do diamonds sparkle under all lights? I wiped them with some alcohol and the sparkle was better. When I first opened the package it was under artificial light. Just curious.
Also, one of the little ziploc bags holding one of the earrings had a little black square of plastic in there. Any significance to that? Thought it might mean there's a damage. They seem fine though. Anyone else have that square in one of the bags the earrings come in? Thanks!
