I have seen many instances where fw pearls are described as being "solid nacre so they will last for a long time." i know that akoyas have thinner nacre, but it seems to me that only the top layers of nacre on any pearl are visible, so any damage caused would be equally ruinous regardless of the total thickness of nacre. is there any substantial difference between the durability of akoyas and fw's?
