Exceptional, friendly, & prompt service! Michelle is a great listener & was attentive to my needs. She was also collaborative & insightful when finding the best specific solution. Michelle quoted a weeklong turnaround time, but I was all set in less than 24 hours. I would much rather a business estimate conservatively, than have a surprise later. Thank you for exceeding all my expectations!!!
I stopped by a few days ago to repair my 22-year old Seiko kinetic watch which is no longer keeping time. I was told they could NOT repair it and instead to call Seiko. I’ve had this fixed once before so I tried Jewelry repair at Barton Creek Mall (2nd floor near Macy’s) and they fixed it in a few days for $50.It’s puzzling why Throckmorton can’t repair a watch and refuse to try when the other place fixed it so easily. Go down the road instead.
I highly recommend visiting Throckmortons for all of your watch repairs and future purchases. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff.
Great place and wonderful people to shop with, however, there prices are double the price of Jewelery stores such as Jared, Kays, etc… Very friendly and knowledgeable buisness as it pertains to diamonds and fine jewelry. I also found what I was looking for at a different jewelry store in the mall for a better price.
Great prices!!! (abt half Jared’s). small shop, so limited selection, but again, great prices!!I bought a nice watch on sale for my spouse at few wks ago. I brought it back to get resized, and while waiting a few minutes I found a *really* nice watch for myself! they gave me an unexpected discount for being a repeat customer!
Fantastic local jeweler. Knowledgeable, friendly, skilled, and trustworthy. Theyve done an outstanding job repairing jewelry for me, and the result looked good as new. Stopped in to have a watch battery replace and they got it done in under 10 minutes.
They repaired a cracked sapphire crystal and it came back better than before. Fast and affordable, will always use Throckmortons.
Fast and friendly - highly recommend.5 watches quickly and accurately adjusted and batteries replaced while I waited.
10/10!! Jodis helped me create a custom engagement ring and was so refreshingly helpful, transparent and very responsive. We stayed at the budget I had in mind and the end result was honestly better than I imagined. Jodis and Michelle are rockstars! Shop local and go to Throckmortons!!
Fantastic experience! I took a my grandfathers watch to them and they were so attentive. 10/10 recommend
I’m not an expert on jewelry or even a jewelry aficionado by any means, but I was impressed by how these people know their stuff - they immediately gauged my ring size correctly before sizing it with equipment; they quickly understood what I wanted to have done even though I didn’t know the terminology (add bumps, weld together). Catalogued my rings carefully and efficiently so there wld be no chance of confusion and/or loss. Cleanings, resizing and welding were done quickly and days earlier than expected. Will definitely be going back to them and recommending them to local friends!
Outstanding craftsmanship and Outstanding customer service are how I would summarize my Throckmorton’s experience. I worked with Michelle to create a custom ring and it is beyond beautiful. Her expertise, advice and great attitude made it a pleasure to do business with Throckmorton’s. The ring turned out even more beautiful than I had hoped. I highly recommend them and will be a return customer!
The lady at the front desk was the biggest help, they resized my watch in no time.
We worked with Jodis to create two new rings from old family jewelry and we couldnt be happier with the results! Jodis listened to all of our ideas and helped create the perfect rings for us. We have used Throckmortons in the past for jewelry repair and they have always given us fair prices, prompt service, and been great to work with. Highly recommend!
Simply the best! If you need a jeweler in Austin, look no further! Exceptional customer service!
Throckmortons did a ring resizing for me a few weeks ago and it was perfect! They had the ring back way faster than I thought. The owners were so friendly and made me feel safe leaving my precious memories with them!
Absolutely thrilled with my experience!
The staff are so friendly. Jodis did a beautiful job of putting a new ruby in my ring setting and completely re-building all the tines for both gems in the setting. Plus, it was finished earlier than promised. I love doing business there.
I recently had clasp break on a diamond necklace. Throckmortons was recommended by a friend and I was very impressed with the service, knowledge and friendliness. I now have a super secure clasp and am no longer in fear of losing this special piece of jewelry. Highly recommend this place!
Had our watch at another jeweler for 2 days, yes 2 days cough (fast fix). They couldnt get it sized. Price was about $34 . Brought it to Throckmortons 15 min later they finished and price was about $17 . Excellent service and staff. 5 stars
After another repair place destroyed my necklace, throckmortons did a fantastic job to fix it. They are very professional, have a great customer service and fair prices. Highly recommend to anyone!
I had them replace batteries on two watches. They were fast, and super friendly. I felt at home and knew I was dealing with honest and good people. Definitely going back!
My wife just had her ring cleaned and the prongs tightened around her antique diamond wedding band. The jeweler and staff at Throckmortons were incredibly knowledgeable and kind and professional! They did it all for free. What a wonderful service. We will definitely come back here in the future. Incredible business!
So helpful to find earring I was looking for. Great selection!
Throckmortons was the ONLY place out of 4 jewelry or watch stores I visited and called who were even willing to look at my old watch, including Timex. I was so appreciative of them taking the time to see if they could fix my watch...AND, they fixed it! I am so happy. Ive had this watch for 20 years and it means a lot to me. They were able to fashion a custom spring for a faceplate on the watch. And, they were very genuine and friendly too, which goes a long way. 10 stars!
They really dont know what theyre doing. I had them re-size a steel watch bracelet and had to keep going back because it wasnt right. If you have an odd number of links, you should have less on the inside to counteract the way the watch normally leans. They should know this. Ended up paying another $6 on Amazon for a tool to do it myself
I have been to Throckmortons several times in the last year for various repair work on different watches or rings. David and his wife are always kind, and take the time to explain the various aspects of the work being done. Their prices seem reasonable, and Ive never had to wait longer than expected. This is a fine locally-owned business and I highly recommend their services.
These guys charged $20 to change a watch battery, which is outrageous considering my battery costs $7.99 for a pack of 20 batteries and takes under 1 minute to change. Last place I went charged me $8, which I think is fair considering theyre running a business and all, but $20? No way. I might understand if they sold high end watches, but their 3 display cases full of Tissot and Victorinox hardly qualify.
I just needed a repair but WoW I was treated like their best customer! The repair was perfect! Great local people!
My wife bought me a vintage Omega watch that needed some work. They were very thorough in explaining to me the process and honest with expectations and price. Highly recommend them.
Just left the store and I was extremely please at the professionalism of the young lady that worked with me and suggested. The store provides excellent customer service and is friendly.
I had my watch battery replaced. They did it in about 2 minutes. Excellent service. Fantastic selection of higher end watches. I will be going back, and my next watch will be from them.They also have a case of crystals/gems/rocks, beautiful collection.
Customer service like you wont believe until you experience it yourself! No matter what I am looking for, they always come through.It can be a watchband, a battery, a fancy crystal vase, jewelry, or a repair, they jump to expedite a quick solution. Thanks Michelle, for help today, to resolve the silver tarnish issue and also to get my husband on track with a wedding band replacement.
This jewelry and wrist watch store and repair shop has always been very fair, professional and kind to me and to my family. They provide honest advice and options on what a potential fix for a wrist watch might be and how much it would cost. They also answer phone calls and e-mails very quickly and to the point.They also offer custom work and projects of very high quality, with high-precision time and price estimates.If youre looking for new products already on the shelves, then youll find many high quality watch and jewelry brands here.Lastly, they can often do a quick reset of your wrist watch (if possible and model-dependent) and charge you nothing for it. Their battery replacements are also quite cheap (and several times cheaper than at the manufacturers service shop).In summary: honest, kind, professional and trustworthy.
My Tag Aquaracer died so I brought it here for repairs. They charge a fair price and have good turnaround time. Besides fixing the broken part, he filled in the black numbers on the outside where the enamel had worn away, and he even redid the glow in the dark stuff on the hands and dial. The watch was made in the 90s and I got it back looking like new.
My fiance and I worked with Jodis at Throckmortons to custom design my engagement ring and couldnt speak more highly of her or this company. Weve never designed or purchased an expensive piece of jewelry and Jodis was so helpful and friendly throughout the entire process. We entrusted her with a family heirloom and she helped us create my dream ring! Its more perfect than we could have imagined, even with the CADs they provided! Everyone we met at Throckmortons was very professional, friendly, and their fees were very reasonable! I wouldnt hesitate to recommend them to anyone I know!
Great customer service! My wedding band had broken and needed to be repaired. He did an amazing job and even alerted me to some problems with the stones. They were able to fix everything!! The work done in a timely manner.
Ive been to this place for two separate issues in the last two weeks. The first was to get a small scratch buffed out of my Rolex Datejust crystal and the second was to have them look at a G-Shock watch that wasnt working after I changed the battery. They took exceptional care of both of my issues in a quick and professional manner. More than that, though, is the excellent customer service provided by everyone in the store. I *highly* recommend this store to anybody looking for watch repair and purchase.
Pleasant people to work with. Easy parking and quick in and out. About $19.95 to replace a watch battery in a water resistant watch.
We needed to have some watch batteries replaced and they helped us right away. We arrived just before closing and they did not rush us one bit. I feel much better in them servicing our watches/ jewelery over a kiosk in the mall. We will definitely visit them again. Thank you for the great service!
Went here to get a watch battery changed. Super friendly and helpful staff. They are priced fairly and are willing to work within your budget for certain jewelry pieces.
The staff here are friendly, and their turn around time is super fast!
Knowledgeable, helpful, friendly folks with fair prices. Took great care with my precious items!
I’m very dissatisfied with my experience today at this store. I went in to see about having my Luminox watch repaired & the lady just assumed she knew what was wrong & immediately told me I needed my whole movement replaced. I had told her that I recently had the battery & crystal replaced but that everything had been working fine for a couple of months after having the last repairs. She said she thought a piece of the glass got stuck in the movement, even though I told her the watch was still water tight after the crystal broke. She took it back to have what I assume was the “repair technician” & take a look at it. After about 2 minutes she came back & said he confirmed that it would need a new movement & it would be $110. I’ve been an automotive service writer & repair estimator for a long time. I don’t believe in just guessing & buying parts for no reason. You must have a proper diagnosis or at least take the dang thing apart & inspect it! Figuring I had nothing to loose, I went home & took the watch apart. I blew out everything & put all back together. It’s all been working perfectly for hours now. Hopefully it continues to work as the days go by. I can’t believe they weren’t willing to actually take apart the watch to look at the internals. To me it’s simply a sign of incompetence. From my experience with watch stores lately I think I’ll just learn the trade & repair my own time pieces. They did have a nice salt water aquarium & I appreciate they letting my son look at all the fish. Unfortunately I won’t be returning anymore.
Found this place to replace some batteries in my watches. The service is excellence and affordable.
Most amazing customer service
Awesome. Theyre great. Friendly, knowledgeable, honest. Has been my fav watch/ jewelry store for 4+ yrs now.
Brought my watch to their shop to have it adjusted and the battery replaced. The staff was super friendly and they did an excellent job! Would highly recommend this place!
Once again David does a fantastic job. The whole team is fantastic and I wouldnt take my Rolex anywhere else for service. Throckmortons is the best.
Super friendly and knowledgeable! My fiancée and I took my antique engagement ring and our antique wedding rings in for some serious work. They were able to size up and down our rings perfectly. Also able to repair his wedding band that was completely cut through in one section. Cleaned up everything so nicely, it all looked like new! You would have never guessed they were owned and last worn/cleaned by our grandparents! We highly recommend Throckmortons! We could not be happier!!
These people are Great! I had an engagement resized and they were super fast and professional. Im going to take it back to them to have the place holder stone replaced soon!
After being balked at other stores, trying to get someone to reweld my Oakley Titanium Prescription glasses that my son had torn apart, Throckmortons at least tried.And did a bang up job in just minutes. Everyone was so nice!I had just come from Jareds, where strange painted ladies had descended upon me, then wrinkled their nose that they only deal in gold and silver.At Throckmortons they had excellent displays and saw some stones that match my wifes eyes. Ill back!
Go watch and jewelry repairs
Get jewelry shop. Friendly, allot of jewelry to choose from. Excellent at repairing jewelry.
Always a great place to do business. Fair, professional, and thorough.
So glad we still have a jewelry repair place that does not ship your items off! Yes!! It all stays in their shop! No risk of being lost!! and their work is beautiful!
Quick replacement of a watch band! Really nice staff.
Friendly, knowledgeable and affordable. Great for battery changes and all watch maintenance and repair.
Wonderful locally owned business. They are always friendly and do a great job for me, whether it is replacing batteries in watches or finding a similar gold earring that meant a lot to me when I lost just one.
We got my fiancés ring resized here and they did amazing work and at such a great price. They were transparent about their work from the beginning and Im so glad I trusted them with his ring.
THE BEST! I found Throckmortons via an internet search and decided to give them a try. My ring got stepped on by my photographer at my wedding and severely warped it. I had previously taken my ring to have it resized at one of the large chain jewelry retailers and they failed to fully polish my ring after the resizing, leaving the diamonds looking gray and my rose gold ring looking more brown than anything. When I received my ring back from Throckmorntons after my latest mishap, not only did they do a 5 star job on the repair, the price was far lower than expected, the staff was super helpful and friendly, AND my ring hasnt been this bright and pretty since the day I received it! Unknowingly, they did more than fix the warping, they did a outstanding job polishing and restoring my ring back to how I remembered it before the sizing. Their attention to detail is phenomenal and we had a wonderful experience. Highly, highly recommend them! Ill definitely be back!
Great watch repair and watch band selection. Great selection of luminous watches.
Super friendly and fast repair of a vintage watch I brought in. Will definitely return with any watch or jewelry repair needs we have.
Throckmortons is a wonderful jewelry store. The people working there always greet you and address your needs quickly. So far I have brought them only problems. By this I mean a ring with an intricate design that needed to be resized (without disturbing the design, of course). This was done to perfection. And my antique engagement ring (I MAY be an antique myself, LOL). I knocked out one of the stones (an opal) and needed a replacement as well as some other major repair. The workmanship of the repair and replacement of the opal was beautiful. I do intend to shop there and not just bring them problems. But they are VERY good at repairing those problems.
Excellent service with a smile and very knowledgeable about your watch needs! Havent had a problem with them and everything I have taken there has been fixed with precision and speed.
Excellent family owned business. Reasonable prices.
Im not sure how this shop received these reviews. Today was my third attempt to have something repaired. Rather than go on a rant, Ill just say that under no circumstances will I visit these people again.
I like the place so nice and clean also they are nice people
Great service for many years.
Friendly, knowledgeable, great work, fair prices!
