Our Story

Welcome to Onushshar, an eco-conscious independent
jewellery and accessories brand based in Kolkata, where every piece tells a story.
Founded in 2018 by Zona Bera, a visionary fashion designer with roots in Bengali culture and a degree in fashion design from NIFT, Onushshar is more than just a jewellery brand—it is a celebration of womanhood, self-love, and the timeless art of hand embroidery.

Our Journey
Growing up, Zona spent countless hours learning the
intricacies of embroidery from her grandmothers and aunties—strong, resilient women whose love and wisdom left a lasting impact on her. These intimate experiences instilled in her a deep appreciation for the beauty of womanhood and the charm of handmade art, eventually laying the foundation for Onushshar.
Driven by her passion for art and design, Zona chose an
unconventional path by studying fashion design. After completing her bachelor’s degree at the National Institute of Fashion Technology (NIFT), she decided not to pursue a conventional job as a designer. Instead, she followed her dream of building an identity of her own and started her entrepreneurial journey with a homegrown brand she named Onushshar, a tribute to her Bengali roots.
Onushshar had humble beginnings. From her bedroom, Zona began crafting jewellery and accessories that combined her love for traditional hand embroidery with modern, minimal design aesthetics. Today, the brand reflects the essence of the journey of womanhood, offering unique, handmade jewellery that resonates with every modern woman.

Our Philosophy
Onushshar’s designs are where tradition meets innovation.Inspired by Bengal’s rich cultural heritage and infused with contemporary fashion, we create jewellery that feels both nostalgic and modern, seamlessly connecting the past with the present. Rooted in tradition, each Onushshar piece is meticulously hand-embroidered, making every design unique. This individuality highlights the beauty of imperfection and celebrates the uniqueness of every wearer.At Onushshar, our mission is to inspire confidence andself-expression in women. Each design is thoughtfully crafted to honour your strength, individuality, and journey, transforming every piece into a wearable symbol of self-love and self actualization.

Our Values
As an eco-conscious brand, we are deeply committed to slow fashion, sustainability, and celebrating the timeless beauty of craftsmanship. Every Onushshar creation is thoughtfully designed to seamlessly merge functionality with modern lifestyle aesthetics, ensuring each piece is as practical as it is beautiful.
Crafted in small batches, our products are ethically handmade by skilled artisans who use manual techniques on ethically sourced handloom fabrics, preserving the rich heritage of handmade art while upholding our unwavering commitment to quality and authenticity.
