RARELY WORN TORTOISE SHELL GLASSES

Once in a while I'd take my Horn-rimmed or Tortoise Shell glasses from their case to wear.  I had them made a couple of years ago but then did not feel comfortable wearing them.  Furthermore Haji Hasnin said the glasses made me look old.  However I'd wear them once in a while as I spent about RM250 on this prescription glasses.

They are called such as the original ones were actually made out of either horn or tortoise shell.  But for most of their history they have actually been constructed out of thick plastics designed to imitate those materials. They are characterized by their bold appearance on the wearer's face, in contrast to metal frames, which appear less pronounced.
