My boyfriend gave me a necklace for my birthday recently and when I opened it I saw it had a small crack in the pendant. He says it doesn't matter, but I've been wondering if that brings bad luck or if it's just a superstition. What do you guys think, does it actually affect anything?
It's not bad luck, it's just superstition. A damaged object is still a gift made with love, and the meaning comes from the intention of the person who gave it, not from the physical state of the object. If the crack bothers you, you could take it to a jeweler to have it repaired, but as for "bringing bad luck"... that's pure belief. Lots of people receive imperfect gifts and nothing bad happens to them, so don't worry about it.
a crack in an object doesn't bring anything bad, that's just unfounded superstition! what matters is that your boyfriend thought of you and picked something special, and that intention is what really counts. i got a bracelet with a small manufacturing defect a while back and i've been wearing it ever since without any problem, actually, i love it precisely because it's not perfect and that makes it unique. the "damage" doesn't change anything about the care behind the gift, so enjoy your necklace without worries!
Do you really think a physical object can carry negative intentions just because it's broken? I once got a watch as a gift that broke a week after I started wearing it, and honestly I kept wearing it for years afterward, so I didn't see any bad luck there. What happened was I actually grew attached to the watch precisely because it represented that moment, crack and all. It's the same with your necklace: the cracked pendant doesn't change the fact that your boyfriend spent time thinking about you. If the crack really bothers you, you can get it fixed no problem, but that would just be an aesthetic thing, nothing more.
