Where do these little things come from?

[DrB3]

I am in desparate need of the little silicone rings that have a loop for a charm and then the larger loop goes around the antenna of a cell phone. Then you have a little cell phone charm, really hot right now with the young and spreading.

There are all kinds of cell phone charm vendors on-line but they get all these things as one unit and hence claim they cannot replace a broken ring (including the terrible site I got my charm from www.prettygirlythings.cpm or some such crazy thing. Terrible people.

SO, I would like to find them and make my OWN charm gifts. There are more than enough charms on R&T to make every friend I've got feel special. Any thoughts?

We do have a cell phone lariat it isn't exactly what you described but it is nice & sturdy, don't seem to have a problem with breakage. (I just checked with customer service & she said no complaints.) You can check them out at this link.

We actually JUST added some new styles - the loop-end style with a gold plate, then two with a screw end. They are IN stock. Check 'em out!

I'm not sure when we're getting more in of the white-metal style, but we'll post if we find out (it could be really soon).

Hi, DrB3,
I think what you are seeing used on cell phones is the eyeglass holder findings, such as 30-842-1 and 30-842-2.  I have discussed with various customers how to attach charms to cell phones that don't have a loop, and this is the solution I have run into most often.  Take a look and see if this will work for you.

'> Oh my gosh! Rita! I had given up all hope!! You are right, that's where I've seen those suckers.

I can't thank you enough! Sounds silly, but when you are considering taking a class in Chinese so you can call the ends of the earth where they make these...well you know.

I'm looking at my poor little phonecharm, all alone without a phone! It won't be long now little guy!
