unpopular opinion- i think BA is nice for the person who already has a staple collection. i only own black, red, or brown bags. each time i have purchased a "pop of color" bag, i regretted it and never wore it. you must love BA so much to think of it as a classic staple, otherwise it will wind up being an expensive seasonal necklace you will force yourself to wear. i say go with carnelian or onyx. the carnelian is neutral but interesting. the onyx is a staple.
*i love malachite, for example, and think of it as a neutral because it reminds me of classic Renaissance jewels. i love it in dark tones especially. carnelian has that same effect on me.
