Pearl Phone Straps: How They Attach, What They Cost and How to Style Them
Quick answer
A phone strap is a short wrist loop that hangs from your phone case so it's easier to carry and harder to drop. The Charmé Edit's pearl and beaded phone straps are handmade in London, cost £28, and come with an ultra-thin 0.2mm stainless attachment patch that connects the strap to most phone cases, including our charm cases.
If there's one phone accessory that's gone from niche to everywhere, it's the phone strap. Part jewellery, part practical fix, a short beaded or pearl strap gives you something to hold on the Tube, at a gig or when you're taking photos, and it makes any case look more finished.

What is a phone strap for?
Fewer drops. Loop it over your wrist and your phone stays with you when you're juggling a coffee and a bag.
Easier photos. Hold the strap and you can shoot one-handed with more confidence.
Style. It's a piece of jewellery for your phone, and an easy way to change your look without changing your case.
How does a phone strap attach to a case?
Every strap comes with an ultra-thin 0.2mm stainless steel attachment patch. The patch is what connects the strap to your phone case. Because it's so thin, it works with most phone cases, so you don't need a case with a built-in lanyard hole, and it pairs with our charm cases.
The rule of thumb: match one colour, not all of them. A strap that picks up one tone from your case looks styled; one that copies every colour looks like a set bought in a hurry.
