Peridot
For peridot, small particles of peridot are very affordable, and you can buy a broken stone bracelet for only $10. The price of one carat of peridot is about $50 to $100.

As the latest diamond imitation, its price is very low, especially in recent years. Moissanite has a similar appearance and fire to diamonds, which can satisfy people's pursuit of the brilliant light of diamonds, and the price is relatively low. Therefore, it is welcomed by many consumers in the market and has become one of the popular choices for fashion jewelry.
Aventurine
Aventurine is a kind of crystal. It does not have the high transparency of natural crystal, which also makes the price of aventurine relatively low. You can buy an aventurine bracelet for $30 to $100. Those without black impurities, brighter texture and purer green will cost slightly higher. The green color of aventurine gives people a vibrant feeling, and its unique gold dust effect makes it shine with golden light in the sun, which is very unique.
