Something about summer always makes me feel like a kid again. It might be the unspoken understanding that we all get to work a little bit less between Memorial Day and Labor Day.

With schools out, out-of-office replies turned on, and the general lightness that fills the warm air, summer elicits a playful energy that manifests not only in the way we carry ourselves but in the way we choose to dress and accessorize all season long.

Below, you’ll meet six jewelry designers whose collections take that carefree spirit and colorful whimsy and turn it into pieces that let you keep a little slice of summer at hand, no matter where you’re headed.

The Lucky Bracelet is Carolina Bucci’s more affordable option in her line of fine jewelry. Reminiscent of the classic friendship bracelets of her childhood, these 18k gold–plated chains braided with metallic silks contain a deeper meaning. At the end of each chain, there is an engraved heart medal symbolizing Great Ormond Street Hospital (GOSH), where all proceeds raised by this bracelet are donated to help provide world class care for ill children and their families. The purpose of these vibrant hues, Bucci says, is to “bring happiness to all who wear them.”

To buy: Lucky Bracelet With GOSH Charm, $229
