At first glance it's a cute, bright little gift shop. But when you step inside, it's like the closet scene in Narnia.. ITS A WHOLE WORLD HIDING IN THERE! There is a little bit of everything, new and old, shiny or seasoned.. clothes, furniture, jewelry, witty gifts, handmade ditties, YOU NAME IT. Such a sweet surprise. Reasonably priced for the gems to be found. I had to loop the place 3 times just to make sure I didn't miss a thing, but I'm sure I missed something. Definitely a place worth returning to!

Monkitree is THAT place, for Gardiner. The owner features local artisans from across Maine, in a variety of themes.

There's a few things that a true to Gardiner here, that feature fish (alewives), the Kennebec River and the sturgeon. I'd say the prices are on par with the quality of the work shown in the shop.

I turned out to be a very nice jewelry store with lots of display cases, etc. But I was just there for the ring guard.

I first communicated with Creaser Jewelers via email, and they were very responsive and helpful. When I finally made it into the store, I felt very at ease. The staff was happy to show me as many rings as I wanted to see. They eagerly helped me search within my fairly modest budget, and they never pressured me to make a purchase I wasn't sure of. In fact, they encouraged me to be 100% certain before putting any money down. At first, the ring I wanted seemed to be out of my budget. The saleswoman and jeweler (Dennis Creaser) were happy to help. Dennis found a beautiful stone of slightly lower karat value. The stone fit within the band I loved and within my budget. Perfect! They made and shipped the ring very promptly. I have since had the ring serviced twice by them - once for a resizing and once for general wear. Neither issue was their fault, and they gladly did the repair free of charge. In summary, Creaser Jewelers has beautiful pieces and ideal customer service. I highly recommend them!
