I don't know this business at all. You can pay with Paypal which gives you a little protection. I didn't see anything like the equivalent of a better Business Bureau or any other organization in its ads.

Maybe someone else on this forum has a clue. They seem to be a discount kind of place that sells a lot more than pearls.

I recommend you contact Nerida, who sells pearls, and who is in Australia. If she cannot personnally supply you with the best ring I am sure she will know who can.

I agree with that.

Hello Joy and welcome to the forum. I'm in Australia and have purchased from Pacific Pearls International (in Sydney). They sell on ebay and I bought some freshwater necklaces from them a few years ago. I now know that these pearls were much lower grade than advertised but I was a novice then.
I have no knowledge of the quality of their South Sea pearls but based on the pic and details of the ring you're interested in I think you can do much better.
I urge you to contact Nerida and discuss your requirements for this very special purchase
All the best,
Kerry.
