Basically, a wizard obtains a Horcrux by killing someone. The wizard splits his soul, and can store part of his soul in an object, which can be anything. One of the Horcruxes is Voldemort's family ring. Others are probably the golden cup of Helga Hufflepuff's, the Black family's locket, Tom Riddle's diary from the second book, and possibly Nagini (Voldemort's snake). Most likely Voldemort used something of importance to him, so it's very possible Godric Gryffindor's sword is another. But we'll have to wait and find out.

Horcruxes are magical objects in the Harry Potter series by J.K. Rowling. They were introduced in the second novel of the series, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, although the concept of the Horcrux was first described in the sixth novel of the series, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince.
In the Harry Potter universe, a Horcrux is a magical object created through the use of the Dark Arts: a "receptacle in which a Dark wizard has hidden a fragment of his soul for the purposes of attaining immortality.With part of their soul concealed, a dark wizard becomes immune to death while their Horcrux exists, usually hidden away in a safe location.
Even if their bodies are destroyed, part of their soul remains earth-bound and undamaged. However, the destruction of the creators' bodies leaves them in a state of half-life, "lesser than the meanest ghost".
Lord Voldemort was left in this state when his attempted use of a Killing Curse on Harry Potter backfired upon himself.

The following list represents the two confirmed Horcruxes, both of which have been recovered and destroyed:
Marvolo Gaunt's ring
Tom Riddle's diary
Possible remaining Horcruxes
Salazar Slytherin's missing locket, believed to have been stolen from Hepzibah Smith by Tom Riddle.
A cup once belonging to Helga Hufflepuff, also believed to have been stolen by Tom Riddle from Hepzibah Smith.
An unknown item belonging to either Godric Gryffindor or Rowena Ravenclaw.
The great snake Nagini. Dumbledore believed the final Horcrux was to be made from Harry Potter's murder, considering his importance as the "Chosen One" foretold by Sybill Trelawney's prophecy.

Horcuxes are when someone splits their soul in 2 and stores the half of the soul for safe keeping. splitting the soul can only be achieved if you murder someone.
