A couple things are noteworthy:
The design you're looking at is common elsewhere for cheaper. Admittedly, it's a great design so feel free to go for it, but know that there are alternatives.
You're looking at brass/copper, which aren't the top of the line in terms of begleri materials. They're good, but they tarnish quickly, have a strong odor, they aren't hypoallergenic (you should make sure you aren't part of the 10% of people with a nickel allergy before touching them or you'll break out in an itchy rash) and they're frankly the cheaper alternative when it comes to metal weights. Some people love them, because the patina is classy, etc, but this is all important to know, just so your decision is informed.
Most high quality begleri are made of titanium. And, as you can see, the website you're looking at does titanium for a largely elevated price. Why titanium? It's odorless, hypoallergenic, and bloody indestructible - denting and dinging much less than metals like copper. It'll last forever. Not that others won't! But it's always going to look the least mangled compared to other sets. Other places do titanium much cheaper, and your guy's titanium set is only 25 grams anyway.
Which brings me to the weight. Weight is very important, especially for beginners! Too light and it will be impossible to control because it won't have enough momentum - you'll flop it around and feel powerless. Too heavy and your hands will ache like hell in the morning. It varies between people, but generally, the lowest you wanna go is 26, and the highest is probably ~30 til you've practiced. Your guy sells 35 gram sets, and 25 gram sets, but nothing in between. Both of those are probably okay weights, and I doubt it would significantly impede your progress if you got one, but one will just be very heavy and one will be very light, which is... fine? But not ideal.
All of that said:
Those ones look nice. If you're okay with the smell, tarnish, scratches and much-heavier-than-average weight, it legitimately looks worthy of your purchase. It's a great design.
Like others said, Aroundsquare has lots of safer choices, in nice solid odorless titanium, that'll last forever. But they also only do certain designs, none of which are like the one you're looking for.
ALSO, seriously, make sure you don't have a nickel allergy, that's really important. It'll save you a lot of money and a lot of itching if you do.
I think you've found your practice focus. Using those fingers in new ways is the way through it, even outside of belgeri. Stretch routine? strength training? (Grip Master: https://www.amazon.com/GRIP-MASTER-Gripmaster-Exerciser-Black/dp/B000W4KVGC/ or bands: https://www.amazon.com/Airisland-Stretcher-Resistance-Exerciser-Strengthener/dp/B071JL6PYZ)
​
I don't have experience with this regarding belgeri (i'm now interested myself though), but I have used a grip master (with individual finger keys). I had the medium (red) which was too strong for middle and ring. If you go for it, Start with the lighter one -- but i've been reading that a set is best so you can progress.
Compared to begleri, the asalato is a lot less technical. The main challenges with playing asalato are:
You'll be able to do a basic beat pretty quickly, especially with prior technical skills from begleri. Once you get past the surface level, you'll start getting involved with time signatures which is a whole other can of worms.
As far as buying a set, my recommendation is to buy these:

You can buy cheaper plastic ones on Amazon, but they are very inferior to these ones and will probably fall apart quickly.
If you want something quieter, get these in the 50mm size:
https://www.amazon.com/Cork-Asalato-1set-LATELIER-47mm/dp/B00CX2WQQ4/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=cork+asalato&qid=1569193029&sr=8-1
The ones made out of gourds are cool and they have a great sound, but I think it's better to wait until you have the basics down and know that you enjoy this hobby before investing in them. They're a bit more difficult to play and they are more prone to breaking (especially by beginners who typically hit them too hard).
Have that same set. I got some 550 from Amazon that's a light blue with a dark blue diamond pattern in it. Looks great.
Edit: Amazon link. 500+ colors, seems like it’s always going up.
Thanks! I found it on amazon:

I'm still experimenting with size, length, and weight still to see what I like better.
Yep, heat shrink tubing. I got an assorted pack (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VE4ZUT2/) to use for various begleri things, like hex nut sets.
I took the largest variety from the assorted pack and they didn't quite fit, so I stretched them out by opening them up with a pair of scissors and then they wrapped around perfectly.
I just started recently. I bought this belgeri off Amazon and made a monkey fist one myself out of paracord. Both of them handle fine, though adjusting the length on my homemade monkey fist one is a bit tricky. If you have washers or nuts at home, you can make your own pretty easily too.

I’ve seen these don’t know if they are too good
It looks like it may be this
I just ordered these from Amazon a couple of days ago and expect to get them today. They are about 1 inch in diameter and I think each bead is 38g. I expect them to arrive today and if they work out I'll post a picture and info.

Thats what I use for all of my begleri I make
As I pointed out below. Mine and the ones linked are 2 different sizes. The 3.5cm will be ~1.4" as mine are 2.7 and is ~1".
When buying these I searched quite a bit til I found a 1" set.

This is the style I bought except I got all 7 for 13$

Here's some metal begleri as an option.
