Mama Antonia
Our Mama Antonia chain is our bestselling necklace of the past year!
All our necklaces are named after powerful female literary characters and writers who paved the road before us. Mama Antonia is named after Antonia from Willa Cather's Pulitzer Prize winning novel My Antonia. Antonia is a determined, strong woman making life in a new land.
With wild and unpredictable conditions as her background, Antonia provides safety for her children, learns and adapts quickly, and becomes a woman of incredible strength and resilience. We can't think of a better necklace to symbolize YOU and everything you have come through. You emerge from the storm with immense strength and resilience. And our Mama Antonia chain is as strong as you are- 14k gold filled, won't tarnish, stunning and sturdy. This one's for you, girl!
"We'd never have gotten through it if I hadn't been so strong." -Antonia

At Hey June, all of our necklaces, bracelets, huggies, and hoops are gold-filled or sterling silver pieces! Gold-filled jewelry means that there is a layer of real gold bonded over brass- it is tarnish-resistant and hypoallergenic. These are pieces you can put on and keep on. Gold-filled jewelry gives you the beauty, quality, and durability of solid gold without having to pay for it! Wahoo!
With proper care and handling, your gold-filled or sterling silver piece can give you a very long and happy life! Here are our recommendations for keeping your piece looking pristine!
- Store in an airtight bag when not wearing
- Wipe jewelry off after swimming or lots of exposure to water or other elements.
- Avoid contact with sunscreen, cleaning products with bleach, perfumes, scented lotions, hairsprays, etc. If your piece does have contact with these things, no biggie, just wipe it off as soon as possible.
- Gently clean your piece with water and mild dish soap if it starts to look worn.
- Use a soft anti-tarnishing cloth on your gold-filled or sterling silver piece to remove stubborn dirt.

Very good quality and love how it doesn’t tarnish beach, pool, gym I leave it on!!!
United StatesI had my eye on this necklace for several weeks and was undecided on which length to get. I emailed Hey June a picture of my necklace that I wear every day and asked for suggestions on length for the Mama Antonia. Customer service was a big help and I decided to get the 15”. I was so surprised at how light weight the necklace is. I completely forgot I even had it on after wearing it for two days. It is just beautiful and I can’t wait to pair it with other necklaces.
United StatesThis is my second Mama Antonia! I have one with a front large clasp as well. Super comfortable to wear! My go to piece.
United StatesI love my Mama Antonia. I wanted it to be more like a choker style on me. It’s beautiful. I went back and bought 3 more pieces the quality is amazing. I want everything.
United StatesThis is the second mama I bought. The first one had the front clasp it 16” this one I wanted for layering, traditional clasp, 20”. I absolutely love it and haven’t taken it off since purchased.
