We're not immune to most kinds of Y2K revivals—platform sandals, terry towelling, lower waistlines? We're here for all of it. So, when we started to spot the return of tech accessories, more specifically, phone charms and lanyard beads on our feeds, we weren't at all surprised when we immediately had strong feelings.
Did the return of phone charms give us aggressive flashbacks to customising our Nokia 3200? Absolutely. Is that a bad thing? Not at all.
Nostalgia aside, like most Y2K trend revivals, the latest iterations are definitely more elevated than their 2000s counterparts. But, given we spend so much time on our phones, it's not surprising that we should start thinking about our devices as more like an accessory than simply necessary tech.
Practically speaking, phone charms or beads can also be wrapped around your wrist to provide a little extra protection against dropping your phone when out and about—which in our books (and wallets) can never be a bad thing. Ahead, we've compiled a list of the cutest 16 phone charms on the market to shop now.
