Technically, Izzy isn't lying. He does want the ring back, he just also wants the person wearing it. That's how he's justified it in his mind and when Ed nods and agrees, it doesn't matter anymore.
And if anyone can get him there, Izzy fully believes it's Edward Teach. He will always be grateful.
Will Ed be pissed when he finds out? Maybe. Maybe Izzy just isn't meant to be a pirate. Maybe he's only using this as a means to an end. Or maybe he'll bring his lady with and they can set sail for adventure. He hasn't thought it through. Such is the power of yearning and young first loves. Idiot.
Will Ed be pissed when he finds out? Entirely. Izzy's entire presence on the ship is an extention of Ed's trust, and trust by association with his Captain. If Hornigold finds out there is a liar on the ship be won't be kind, not to Izzy, and not to Ed. But further- Ed will feel like an idiot for ever trusting another man, for showing a kindness and extending a hand. That's something that will never happen again, he'll vow.
Needless to say it's a good thing right now that Ed believes him, and it will remain so as long as he does.
Ed takes the hand extended to him as leverage to get back up, releasing it to instead clap a friendly hand on his companion's shoulder. "Yeah, before all the liquor's gone."

He's quiet for a moment, smiling warm.
"Let's go back up," and he extends his hand.
