I have had mixed experiences with gold fuming. Sometimes it lasts and sometimes it rubs off. Most of the time it holds up pretty well. Some say that using 22k instead of 24karat gold makes a difference , but the color is not quite the same. Encasing it changes the look. You lose the shinny gold. Sometimes you can get beautiful results from encasing, but it's different.
Your pendant is pretty. Just keep experimenting, be careful venting your fumes.
