Unusual frame materials
Glasses frames can be made from
many materials. The most common are plastic or metal frames. You can read about
these in my previous blogs. However there are some people who don`t
particularly like the usual frame materials. Glasses frames can be made from
wood, bone and even leather; for the part at the temples at least. Some rich
people can afford to purchase fully gold or silver glasses frames.

I actually like the wooden glasses frame I think
they have an interesting and unique but subtle appearance to them.
Bone is also a material used to
make glasses frames. They give the glasses a very rare gleaming appearance. They
are usually stark white in appearance. The white bit of glasses below are made
from deer jaw bone.
Buffalo horn is another material
that you can have glasses made from. The glasses adjust themselves to your body
temperature, the feel completely different to any other glasses you`ve worn.

Precious stones can also be used to
embed glasses frames.
