It does sound like a lovely gift, but if your concern that you are receiving a fair price, make sure you take him up on his guarantee offer. Pawn shops don't normally accept pearls as they can't turn them around quickly enough to make a profit. If you do visit the store, see if he has other strands on display. This would indicate he has some knowledge of pearls. If you see no other strands, I would be skeptical of this vendor's knowledge.
