    Horn-rimmed frames

    Hello everyone,
    I have a pt wanting a horn-rimmed frame. I really like Mr. Bennet's frame on the show hero's. I would upload a photo but I am not that computer savy! Does anyone know who makes that frame or any other traditional horn-rimmed glasses?
    thankyou in advance for the suggestions.

    The Ronsir is a combination frame, not a horn-rim. Jamie, is this frame what you meant? There are frames that are actually made of horn, and there are vintage frames of actual tortoise shell (better not be new!): horn-rims are zyls that look like them, not a metal chassis with trim tops ala the Ronsir.

    I know that - she was asking about the frame Mr. Bennett (HRG) wear in the show Heroes. The Ronsir is what he wears, and true, it's not really horn.
