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.
