Why would he make his horcruxes such attention-grabbing objects? I know he was a ~flamboyant~ guy, but that was just a stupid move. If I was him, I would have made a grain of sand into a horcux and thrown it into the ocean. I can guarantee no one would ever find it. Ever.
Or a hair strand from a salon floor. Pssshhh… Voldemort.
DO NOT QUESTION THE WAYS OF THE DARK LORD.
If you havent noticed, all of his horcruxes were representative.
Well, wouldn’t you rather put your soul into something that meant something to you rather than just a grain of sand? He never thought anyone would delve so far into his past to figure them out. He picked objects that meant something to him. It’s quite beautiful for a dark lord, actually.
