OK, I have never dated before this boy.
He now wants to break up with me because of some stupid rumor he hears and believes that is currently going around the school. I don't want a guy like that anyways.
Well, this boy gave me a gift - a gold necklace.
If he breaks up with me.. or I break up with him whichever, what on earth do I do with the necklace?
Clueless person here.

Thanks for the answers, guys.
I don't know you so I don't care what you would have given me.
Won't let me choose the best answer.. don't know what's up. Anyways thanks again.. I'm gonna talk to him tomorrow.
As I read somewhere in this thing, all break ups don't have to end with enemies. Maybe we can work something out.

The usual etiquette is that you return the necklace if you break up with him, keep it if he breaks up with you, but that's just a general guideline. Do you think there will be a time when the necklace is just a necklace, or when it will remind you of the good times? Here's the thing - if you think the time will come when looking at it won't bring up unpleasant memories, keep it, but if it makes you uncomfortable, you could give it back, or...
... if he says "keep it," you could donate it a charity:
Some women's shelters accept donated items for abused women putting together a wardrobe to return to work. Maybe someone who doesn't know you, or him, could wear it on her first day at her new job and feel really pretty in it - which would let you part with it in such a way that you feel good about what you chose to do with it. The programs for abused women are usually listed in the phone book.
Other charities accept donations for use as raffle items or auction items - you could string the necklace with nice beads and a charity you believe in could use it as a raffle item. Check with your local bead store if you need help figuring out how to get the clasp off to string it. You could use it to make something new that helps raise money for a local animal shelter or homeless program - just call and speak to the person in charge of special events there, and tell them you have a necklace for use as a raffle item.
Good for you for knowing that you don't need to stay with someone who doesn't treat you with the respect you deserve, just to have a guy - I'm impressed. Good luck!

Stick it in a box and label it ex- boyfriend's gifts and later on when it's full look back at it and it'll give you a good laugh ( but I'm not exactly sure of this because I'm not old enough even for my box too be halfway full but I do have a couple of things in there though and when I look at all the poetry it makes me laugh)

It's up to you. He gave it to you as a gift, so it's your option to keep it. (It's not like an engagement ring, which you would be expected to return - legally in many places, an engagement ring is considered part of a marrige contract. No marriage, he gets the ring back.)
If you don't want it, you can give it back to him - but you're not obligated to. You can always give it away, try to sell it, or throw it away. If if makes you feel better to give it back to him though, then that's what you should do.

Well in a very polite world it would go like this
You or him: I think we need to see other people.
You or him(alternate): I agree
You: I should give you this necklace back
Him: No you should keep it, as a reminded of me
(At this point he leaves and you win the lottery)
Unfortunately we don't live in that world...

If the boy break's up with you, you keep the necklace. It was a gift. Ifyou break up with him then you need to return it.

It's your call. If you really like the necklace, keep it. It was a gift.
If it brings back bad feelings, better to return it. Whatever feels right to you is what is right.

what feels right. Sell it, give it back, keep it. Depends on the situation. Make sure its from your heart and logical. It's ok...this happens all the time. Sometimes, it's always good and give it back and look at their reaction. They are usually surprised. Be careful with your decision
