Thanks everyone for the suggestions. He has done his homework and visited several jewelers where he lives. I believe he knows what he wants so he is excited to look on SXM.
Good deal! I would also suggest using a credit card (although cash may be king) so you have the option of a dispute in the case of a problem. Another option I know Caribbean Gems has offered customers is a credit card hold for a purchase and the option then to mail a check with divided payments to a US based address.
Regardless, shop around, be comfortable and having done the homework puts your son way ahead of the game. Good luck to him.
