Our Story

“Stowed safe and close to your heart, a locket filled with precious charms captures your story.”

Beautiful jewellery pieces have been bestowed to loved ones since the beginning of time – and perhaps none more so than the locket. Created to hold precious keepsakes, sometimes a locket was chosen to hold secrets, and at other times it was gifted to find favour with or give fortune to the wearer.

It was the enduring enchantment of the locket, and the way charms have been treasured by women throughout time, that captured the hearts of New Zealand jewellery entrepreneurs Louise and Tim Laing. Inspired by this legacy, they embarked on an ambitious journey to create Stow Lockets—a brand dedicated to crafting elegant yet meaningful jewellery. Together with their design team, they set about creating beautiful lockets and petite charms, designed to be cherished forever.

Guided by their passion for quality craftsmanship and timeless design, Stow has become a brand that empowers and emotionally connects with women around the globe. Each piece is finely crafted from solid gold, rose gold, and sterling silver, with every locket featuring quality crystal glass to showcase exquisitely handcrafted charms within. A complementary range of matching jewellery further enhances the Stow story.

In 2025, Stow Lockets entered a new chapter. After more than a decade of creating and sharing meaningful jewellery, the brand has transitioned to new owners, ensuring its continued growth while remaining supported by the dedicated Stow team. This exciting evolution allows the essence of Stow—its commitment to beautifully crafted, meaningful jewellery—to live on.

Available online and at fine jewellers within New Zealand and Australia.
