Ahhh…..hathphool.  Probably the most distinctive piece of jewelry for an Indian bride, this ornate hand piece is definitely one of my favorite parts of Indian bridal jewelry.  Whether you choose traditional gold, or a matching gemstone pair, like our bride, Ekta, it definitely has Maharani written all over it.

Did you know that “back in the day” Indian brides wore a thumb ring with a small mirror attached to it, so they could steal a glimpse of their husband-to-be? More gorgeousness on the way!
