Creaser Jewelers was founded in spring of 1999. Before this, the company (known as Intergalactic Mining Corp.) was a home based business that specialized in turning locally mined rough stones into beautiful faceted gemstones which were supplied to many Maine jewelers.
Today, Creaser Jewelers is owned and operated by Dennis and Julie Creaser. We have developed a list of company policies designed to insure that our store continue to be a model for successful Maine retailers.
It is our goal for our store to be a multi-generational, enduring, growing Maine company. We are convinced that the only way for this to happen is to be the store that people like the most, consistently and continually. Using our own experience as consumers as a guide, we believe that there are a number of factors which make a company a favorite and they include Service, Quality, Selection and Personability.
Simply speaking, we don't want to be just your jeweler. We also want to be someone you can trust, someone you can depend on, someone you can confide in, someone you can feel comfortable with. We like doing business with people who always treat us like we are more than just customers and we assume that our customers feel the same way. You are special to us and we promise to treat you accordingly.
We have certain rules regarding the quality of our merchandise. Our jewelry must be well constructed and well designed. Gemstones must be properly faceted, proportioned and polished. Gemstones must also be as inclusion-free as possible. Our goal is to provide only the very best quality jewelry. How else will we be known for being the best?
What you'll find in our showroom is nothing less than a beautiful, multi-colored collection of only the best gold and sterling gemstone jewelry. You won't find lightweight, low-karat settings. You won't find synthetic or commercial quality gems. What we sell is the good stuff: gallery quality, well-crafted, wonderfully designed pieces of precious metal set with select gemstones. And we can't wait to show them to you!
Too often, we see substandard gemstones carelessly thrown into any old mounting and called "fine jewelry". We at Creaser Jewelers believe that "Fine" means more than that. To us, "fine" means that someone has taken the time and effort to select one beautiful gemstone from hundreds or thousands and match it with a setting or design that is perfectly complimentary. It is our intention to present you with a superior piece of jewelry that will provide many years of enjoyment.
We at Creaser Jewelers have a special passion for Native Gemstones. We have been an intimate part of the Maine gem mining scene for almost two decades. In 1993, we were directly involved with the famous "4th of July" Amethyst pocket on Deer Hill in Stow, Maine. This historic find was one of the most important Maine gemstone events in modern history and resulted in an unequaled selection of velvety Maine Amethysts in all shades of purple which is available to you from our extensive collection. We have also been involved in gem mining operations producing Aquamarine from Stoneham and Topsham, multicolored Tourmaline from Georgetown and have a close relationship with the owners of the world famous Mount Mica tourmaline mine. Maine produces some of the best quality jewels in the world. Our collection of beautifully cut, vibrantly colored, native Maine gemstones numbers in the thousands and we offer all sizes and prices.
