For starters, horn is a lightweight, comfortable and beautiful eyewear material that is hard to transform horn into eyewear. Only the most skilled workers at the best eyewear manufacturer have the capability of carving and polishing horn materials in a suitable  manner for luxury eyewear.

When you select your horn frames, you will notice that it is polished to a shine. However, like many other natural materials, buffalo horn eyewear over time develops a unique patina. As it ages, the character of the horn will begin to show. Very subtle patterns and textures will appear. You will notice the frames further adjust to the shape of your face.This is due to the warmth of your skin. You will also note that areas where your skin makes contact with the horn, a matte finish will develop that will further enhance the fit of the eyewear.

Horn frames are naturally lightweight and strong. Unlike other eyewear, such as acetate eyewear, the horn frames is no wire needed in the core of the temple pieces to hold the shape of the frames. Horn is hypoallergenic,so it is perfect for people whose skin reacts to certain metals or have sensitive skin.

A few items need considered when caring for your horn eyewear. Horn frames should be cleaned by wiping with a soft cloth. When necessary, you can use a mild soap and water and dry with a soft cloth.
