I personally find the style more appealing than the material used. It would be nice to experiment with the look (the gap)with something at a lower cost. If it works, go for the expensive ones, if it doesn't then you are free to toss them away.

This mighty animal is South-East Asia’s most common livestock and can grow horns up to two meters in length. And once a water buffalo has deceased its horns can be used in creating long lasting products.» I own a pair of natural horn spectacles myself, and they are more comfortable than anything I've ever had before.. unfortunately the material can only be crafted by hand, which makes it expensive. love it or leave it.

You know the water buffalo is not endangered right?

Imagine the immense amount of animal suffering behind these beautiful frames sitting on your nose... just because a designer has picked horn as the material for his/ her project. Material science can produce better material than what nature provides, can't we make something with conscience? No, the buffaloes died because of their horns not because they were old.
