As a factory that has been involved in the production and manufacturing of high-end spectacle frames for 16 years, today I would like to share with you the development and history of horn glasses! According to records, China first used crystal or natural agate to make glasses in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. According to legend, someone discovered a huge bug wrapped in a rosin ball at that time, so he tried to break open the rosin ball. But disappointingly, the bug after opening the rosin ball was not as huge as first seen, but just... Regular size. This observation triggered people's thinking, and people made a sheet of natural crystal to amplify the visual effect. This became the original glasses in ancient my country.
Time came to the Southern Song Dynasty, when people had begun to innovate glasses and constantly improved the materials of spectacle frames and lenses. Try to use a variety of natural materials to make eyeglass frames. Because horn material is durable, anti-allergic and anti-static, it has become an ideal material for making eyeglasses. This is the origin history of the earliest horn glasses in my country.
With the qualitative leap in contemporary science and technology, horn glasses have also made great progress. From the rough manufacturing at the beginning to the modern fine workmanship, the craftsmanship of horn glasses has developed very maturely.
The production process of horn glasses is the most complicated. It requires six steps of material selection, cutting, grinding, polishing, heating and shaping, and lens mounting to finally create a perfect pair of horn glasses. The finished horn glasses also undergo a final quality inspection process to ensure that they meet the standard process requirements before they can finally be presented to the public.
People who care about glasses can perform certain maintenance on horn glasses. Regularly wipe the frame with an oily product. It is generally recommended to use Vaseline, baby oil or olive oil. Apply it on the frame and let it sit for a few minutes, then gently wipe it with a soft cloth. Just wipe it off. In addition, avoid placing your glasses in extremely cold or high temperature environments to prevent the horn frames from deforming. Regular maintenance can not only extend the service life of horn glasses, but also keep them shiny like new.
Horn is the finest natural material, and each pair of horn glasses is unique. There are no two pairs of horn glasses with the same pattern in the world. The factory also incorporates modern elements into the design of horn glasses, which adds to the fashion and uniqueness of horn glasses. Horn glasses are of great value and significance. Not only suitable for daily wear and collection, it is also a very good choice to give as a gift.
