Anthropologie’s mixed-metal necklace brings easy two-tone style for $18

Anthropologie’s mixed-metal necklace is built for the shopper who wants the two-tone look without a styling puzzle. The piece combines gold and silver tones with two teardrop crystals, a small but useful design choice that lets it sit beside yellow gold chains, silver hoops or a watch stack without looking forced.

Parade said the Delicate Mixed Stone Necklace was marked down to $18 from $48 during Anthropologie’s Memorial Day Event, which ran through May 25 and offered an extra 40% off sale items. Anthropologie’s own product page listed a similar style, the Mixed Crystal Necklace, at $29.95 from $38, with an extra 40% off in cart, a reminder that pricing and promotions can shift by listing and timing. The chain is brass plated with 14-karat gold, and the stones are cubic zirconia, details that place the necklace firmly in accessible fashion jewelry rather than precious-metal territory.

That is also part of its appeal. Mixed metals are no longer being treated as a mistake to correct; style coverage in 2025 and 2026 has positioned two-tone jewelry as a mainstream way to add contrast and intention. In that context, a dainty necklace like this works as connective tissue. It can bridge a stack of inherited silver chains with a gold pendant you wear daily, or soften the jump between a gold hoop and a stainless-steel watch. For officewear, it reads polished under a button-down or blazer. With a sundress, it adds just enough shimmer at the collarbone. With streetwear or athleisure, the mixed finish keeps the piece from feeling overly precious.

Anthropologie’s listing described the necklace as one size and showed it down to “last one in stock” when viewed, which makes the sale feel more like a fleeting merchandising moment than a permanent staple. The brand also said it offers free standard shipping on orders over $50 and accepts returns within 30 days for unworn, unwashed and unaltered items in original packaging.

The necklace fits neatly into Anthropologie’s broader summer jewelry assortment, where mixed-metal and crystal pieces are clearly part of the mix. Mixed Crystal Bracelet, Mixed-Up Crystal Necklace and Crystal Necklaces, Set of 2 all point to the same direction: easy sparkle, layered materials and a wear-anywhere sensibility. That is the real case for this necklace at $18. It makes the mixed-metal trend look less like a statement and more like a practical extension of the jewelry already in rotation.
