Well, let me tell ya ’bout this Berman’s Jewelers place down in Ellicott City. Folks say it’s the bee’s knees for shiny stuff, ya know, rings and things. I ain’t never been one for fancy baubles myself, but I hear tell it’s a good spot to get hitched, so to speak.
Now, if you’re lookin’ to get hitched, or maybe just want to sparkle up a bit, this Berman’s place seems like the ticket. People ’round here, they keep jabberin’ on about it. Sayin’ they got the best sparkly rocks in town. I hear tell they got all sorts of rings, from the ones you get when you say “I do,” to those fancy bands they wear after. And if you got some old piece from your grandma, they can fix it up all nice and new like. That’s what I heard, anyways.
They got this thing called an “exclusive appointment” you gotta make if you wanna get serious about them rings. Sounds all highfalutin to me, but I guess that’s how they do things in the city. Means you get to sit down and they show you all their shiny stuff. You get to pick out what you want, and they make it special just for you. Sounds like a lot of fuss if you ask me, but then again, I ain’t never been one for fuss.
- They got engagement rings, for when you ask your gal to marry ya.
- They got wedding bands, those rings you wear after the big day.
- And if you got somethin’ old, like from your mama or grandma, they can make it look new again.
Some folks say them rings can cost a pretty penny. I heard someone sayin’ some of them cost as much as a small house! Can you believe that? $20,000 for a little ring! Now, I ain’t sayin’ it ain’t purdy, but that’s a whole lotta money to spend on somethin’ you wear on your finger. But I guess if you got the money, and you wanna show it off, then that’s your business. The average one though, they say it’s more like $1,500 or maybe $6,000, which still sounds like a whole lot to me.
Now, this Berman’s ain’t the only place selling shiny stuff in Ellicott City. There’s a whole bunch of ’em, like St. John’s, Hi Ho Silver, and that Atlantic Gems place. Seems like everyone’s sellin’ sparklies these days. But folks ’round here, they seem to like this Berman’s place best. Maybe they give ya extra good service, or maybe they just got the best-lookin’ rocks. I wouldn’t know, I ain’t never been inside.
If you wanna go, it’s over on Saint Johns Lane, in somethin’ called the Frederick Crossing Shopping Center. Across from some place called Rita’s. I heard you gotta ask for Carol or Sam. They’re the folks that know all about the rings. You can call ’em up too, the number is 410-480-2090. They got a website too, I think, but I wouldn’t know how to use one of them things. It’s all just too much for an old woman like me.
People in the neighborhood, they sure do like Berman’s. I heard someone sayin’ they got “11 Faves”. Don’t know what that means, but it sounds like a lot of folks like it. They must be doin’ somethin’ right. If you’re lookin’ for a ring, or just wanna gawk at some sparkly stuff, I guess Berman’s Jewelers is the place to go in Ellicott City. Just make sure you bring your checkbook, ’cause them shiny things ain’t cheap! And don’t forget to call ahead for that appointment thingy, or you might just end up standin’ there like a bump on a log.
So that’s the lowdown on Berman’s Jewelers, as best as I can tell ya. I ain’t no expert on sparkly things, but I know what folks ’round here are sayin’. And they’re sayin’ Berman’s is the place to go if you wanna get yourself somethin’ nice and shiny. Whether it’s for engagement, wedding or just transforming some old family thing into something new. Just remember to be ready to spend some money, ’cause like I said, them things ain’t cheap!
