A Partnership for Hope

Etch of London & Grief Encounter

At Etch, we know our purpose is to tell your story through jewellery.

Stories of love, remembrance and connection.

But we also believe in creating stories of hope too, which is why we proudly donate 5% of the cost of each piece of Etch jewellery to Grief Encounter, a UK charity very close to our heart, dedicated to supporting bereaved children and their families after the death of a parent or sibling.

Why Early Support Matters

The impact of bereavement in childhood can be profound and long-lasting. Without support, grieving children are more likely to face emotional, psychological, and educational challenges, and sadly, many go without the help they need.

Grief Encounter acts quickly to provide compassionate, professional care. By helping children process their loss early on, they can begin to rebuild their confidence, reduce isolation and learn how to live with their grief in a healthy, supported way.
