Hathphool Designs for Brides and Festivals

A haath phool is a hand ornament that links one or more rings to a bracelet with fine chains across the back of the hand – a piece of jewellery that turns mehendi-covered hands into the centre of a bridal look. Shop hathphool for women in kundan, pearl, polki-style and gold plated finishes, along with light, minimal styles for festivals and parties.

Also spelt hathphool and known in English as a hand harness or hand chain, it is worn by brides across India, from Rajasthani and Punjabi weddings to Hyderabadi and Bengali ceremonies. Whether you want a bridal haath phool for the pheras or a delicate piece for a cousin's sangeet, every design comes directly from the brand and pairs beautifully with the rest of our bridal jewellery.

How to Choose a Haath Phool

Fit. Check whether the ring and bracelet are adjustable. Most hathphool bracelet designs have an extension chain or open ring so one piece fits most hands.

Metal and finish. Most haath phool designs are gold plated brass, copper or alloy fashion jewellery; for sensitive skin, look for 925 sterling silver. If you plan to wear it often, choose an anti tarnish hathphool – many pieces now carry an anti-tarnish coating.

Weight. A bridal piece can be heavy with stones and multiple rings; for long ceremonies, pick a lighter design with one or two finger loops.

Matching. Keep metals consistent with your bangles and chooda – gold-tone with a bridal chuda, silver-tone with oxidised jewellery. For the full set of hand jewellery, add a hand mangalsutra for after the wedding.

How to Wear and Style Hathphool

Slip the ring onto your middle or ring finger, let the chains rest across the back of the hand, then fasten the bracelet. Brides usually wear one on each hand; for other events, one statement piece is enough.

• Lehenga: a haath phool for lehenga looks is usually a kundan or polki design matched to the choker and maang tikka.
• Saree: for a haath phool saree look, pair a gold kundan piece with silk sarees and a pearl design with chiffon.
• Kurti and anarkali: a minimal or oxidised design keeps the look festive but light.
• Western and Indo-western: a thin gold-tone hand chain works with gowns and cocktail dresses.

Haath Phool for Weddings, Mehendi and Festivals

A haath phool for wedding days completes the bride's look alongside kaleere and the chooda – shop kaleera for bride designs to match. As a haath phool for mehendi, floral and ghungroo styles show off the henna – see our mehendi jewellery – while yellow-toned or floral pieces make a cheerful haath phool for haldi alongside other haldi jewellery. Gold-tone designs also suit Diwali, Karwa Chauth, Eid and Teej, and oxidised styles are popular for Navratri.

Care

Put your haath phool on after your mehendi has dried and after applying perfume and lotion. Store it flat in a pouch so the chains don't tangle, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wear.
