Default Unencased Gold Fuming Durability?

I wanted to experiment with some heavy gold fuming the other day (I am still pretty new to lampworking so i play a lot to see what does what) and i made the pendant pictured below, this is just a normal clear maria with a design drawn in clear that has been heavily gold fumed. My question is as I did not encase this after fuming it in any way will the gold fuming wear off over time? I like the way this turned out and want to develop it more as part of my style but I want my pieces to last as well, which if the fuming will disappear as it is worn may add interest to this particular piece but for future pieces I want to know for certain.
Thanks in advance
