That is when water needs to be added.

If they are all clear, it means humidity is too high and you need to let some of the water out of the beads by putting them in front of a fan, setting them out, etc. Again, it does not matter what made the humidity raise, the fix is the same.

Moving from slightly opaque to slightly translucent is hardly a "clear way to measure". Its much too subjective and really not quantitative in any way whatsoever.

The change in the cystals is much more definitive which makes them my suggestion for anything under 300 ct.

I have a lot of customers who swear by them too.
