Absolutely you should wear it. I should think he would be touched to see you wearing it and there is no reason it should just sit in a jewelry box. It was a gift, it is yours - you wear it. If he sees you wearing it and comments on it you say "I really love this piece of jewelry and I get a lot of compliments on it."
Peace!

Doesn't seem like there's a reason not to. Just because a relationship ended, you don't have to ditch all the presents you got. Many women who are divorced will take their engagement ring and have the diamond made into a necklace or something and still wear it. If you like the necklace, wear it, and don't feel uncomfortable about it. Feel good that you have a nice necklace, and a memory from when your relationship was good.

Who does the necklace belong to? You.
Do you like the necklace? Yes.
Do you want to wear the necklace? Yes.
Wear it. Just because you all don't get along as well now doesn't mean that every gift he ever gave you is off limits. It's your necklace and you like it and want to wear it. It doens't matter who bought it for you. Wear it. It's not like it's an engagement ring that you want to wear after the engagement has been broken off. It's a necklace. Wear it and look good doing it. :D

I think it would be fine to wear the necklace if you are single. it is just it. But if you are dating some one and you are in love with them, then you should just not wear it any more because that is not fair for them if you keep thinking about your ex every time you see or touch the necklace or if someone say something about it. Do not through it in the trash, but I would just save it with your stuff.

Yes, it was a gift, and gifts are supposed to be unconditional. You have every right to keep the necklace and wear it as much as you want.
For your own peace of mind, you may want to do some sort of cleansing ceremony, anything that symbolizes to you that this necklace is no longer "his gift to you" but is now "your gift to yourself." If other people know the significance of the gift, you may want to explain this "rededication" to them, so they know that you wear it out of a love for the necklace, not out of any lingering feelings for the ex.

Texting lets you control the tone and establish what kind of conversation you want to have. Learn here https://tr.im/6Rtoy
This is probably the most important part. With texting, you can stop and think about what you want to say to your ex at each step of the way. Instead of reacting emotionally, you can take your time, figure out the right thing to say (I’ll give you most of it), and be strategic with your ex without saying something that you’ll regret.

If you like it, wear it. I don't understand this "giving it back" thing. If it was an engagement ring I could understand giving it back because it represents a promise. But your necklace was a present so do what you like with it.

Yes you can wear it. He gave it to you as a gift, so it's yours. The only way that you shouldn't wear it is if he asked for it back. Since he didn't, than it's obvious that he doesn't want it.

Yes you can. it is true the necklace was his gift to you...but you don't go and throw gifts everytime you break up with someone. Go ahead and wear it. It doesn't mean anything if he sees you with it.

I think it is ok to wear the necklace it shows meaning from the past.
