Horn glasses have a very wide audience and are suitable for any group of people. They contain huge market potential. It is the result of the integration of traditional craftsmanship and modern technology. In terms of texture, whether they are yellow horn glasses or finished tortoise shell horn glasses, they feel very comfortable and smooth. However, the texture of the horn material itself is relatively rough. The factory needs to grind and polish the horn glasses frames that have been made, so that they can finally show a very glossy texture. In terms of color, due to the purely natural characteristics of horns, it is impossible to achieve complete uniformity in color. Natural materials have their own unique patterns and colors. Each pair of horn temples will be more or less variegated, and there are no two identical pairs of pure natural horn glasses in the world. In addition, the texture of horn glasses is moist and the structure is loose. If you hold it in your hand and look closely or turn on the light, you can see the obvious natural texture. This is the most obvious feature that distinguishes horn from plate materials, although they are somewhat similar in appearance. , but the texture in your hand is still very different. Whether you wear it yourself or give it as a gift, horn glasses are a very suitable product.

Horn glasses are made from Indian pure natural buffalo horns. Horn is a natural ingredient that is beneficial to the human body. It has medicinal effects such as clearing heat and detoxifying, nourishing yin and cooling blood, lowering blood pressure, and removing rheumatism. Horn glasses frames only use pure natural horn materials without adding any other ingredients. They are a product that combines traditinal craftsmanship with modern technology. Horn glasses avoid allergies and static electricity caused by contact with human skin. This is an advantage that metal glasses and plate glasses frames cannot achieve. Moreover, horn glasses frames are completely hand-carved by master craftsmen in the factory and cannot be replaced by machines. Yes, in this era of mechanization, a purely handmade product is particularly unique, and horn glasses are also very rare because they are rare on the market. Because of this, many eyewear merchants have begun to join the horn glasses industry, which contains unlimited business opportunities.


Starting from cutting the horns, horn glasses need to go through three major processes.

1.The first step is to break the horns.

First, 15 cm of the corner is cut horizontally, then jigsawed to break it into a tile shape. After being heated at high temperature, it is hydraulically flattened. Then, a table saw is used to cut it into circumferential specifications. Finally, a grinding wheel is used to grind the uneven surface. flat.


2.The second process is to make the inner and outer shapes of the horn glasses ring.

The craftsmanship of glasses made of plate material is similar to that of plate materials. They all rely on molds for positioning. Since the texture of natural horn is very brittle, it requires a lathe to reach 4800 rpm and a special tungsten steel knife for production and processing.


3.The third process is handmade.

Horn glasses are handmade products, so this hand-made step is particularly critical and requires an experienced master craftsman. In this process, dealing with the uneven surface of the material, sandpapering, flattening the head, pressing the middle beam, piecing the leaves, etc. are all key steps necessary to produce horn glasses. Only by mastering the details of the process can the overall effect be reflected. Perfect for wearing glasses. Horn glasses, like plate glasses, also need to go through several processes of barrel rolling and polishing to make the surface smooth and flat. The only difference is that horn glasses cannot be inserted into pins or hinged. Horn is a natural material. Due to the age of the horn, there may be some errors in the final process of mounting the film due to shrinkage of the material. Therefore, you must constantly grind the lenses. Comparing left and right makes it more difficult to make horn glasses.


Generally speaking, making horn glasses is much more complicated than traditional glasses, and the materials are all natural. The price is much more expensive than traditional metal or plates, and the loss during the production process also increases a lot of costs. Therefore, the cost of a pair of finely crafted horn glasses is also quite high.
