can I use "favor" to means I like something?(e,g. I favor this necklace)

No, we don't usually express "like" in this way. If you say "I favor this necklace", it would mean that you like this necklace better than some other necklace. But in this situation we usually say "I prefer this necklace" instead. I hope this helps.

to favor -as I know- is to prefer you can never express "like" using favor for example :He likes his second daughter .doesn't have the same meaning with :He favors his second daughter.

I agree. "Favo(u)r" used in this way is preferential.
