Solution
Yes, I think the arrangement was fair. Based on the arrangement, the jeweller would return the necklace for thirty-four thousand if the other (lost) necklace was discovered before the end of February. It would give them more time to find the necklace, and they would only lose two thousand francs rather than thirty-six thousand.
