When I was in Austin before St. Valentine's day I happened to stop at Throckmorton's.  I needed a gift for my wife and found exactly what I was looking for.  The very friendly, helpful people, especially Mrs. Throckmorton,  found a piece of Larimar jewelry (necklace) that I knew my wife would love.  And she did!  The prices are great there and they have a unique shop.  Mr. Throckmorton is a top-notch watch repairman.
Pros:  Good prices, friendly, helpful people
Cons:  none
