Hathphul

This is a picture of my cousins Hathphul which she wore at her wedding in Sept 2010.


The word “Hathphul” translates directly to “Flower for the Hand” this specific ornament is worn by an Indian bride for the purpose of adornment. “the ornament literally bridges the gap between bracelet and finger rings with delicate gold chains” (Krishnan- 1999).


My intention is to use the idea of the Hathphul to create my own range of “flowers for the hand”.
