I’ve never worn these together although I do combine blue and black a lot in other contexts and decided to try it out running errands today. I thought I’d give a Magic pendant a chance and was pretty shocked at the color difference. They were purchased a few years apart and I’ve never tried to wear them together because i wear the magic so little so I’d never noticed they basically look like different stones. I’d read about this in other threads before but was still surprised to see it. Another strike against the magic, maybe. Certainly don’t see myself wearing it with the BA 5!

There is a huge color differential. I have the 20-motif and picking a color I liked was awful. I also wanted to add a BA Magic Pendant, like yours, to layer, but at the time, they didn't have anything that matched so I gave up.

The bracelet and necklace are far enough away that no one will recognize they don't match. However, you do.

If you love it, keep it. It's a beautiful shade of blue, and one not duplicated in another stone. If you're never going to wear it, even by itself, best to get your money out of it (explain to your DH) and buy something you will wear.
