Continuing with revisiting the goof:
If Scene 85 was indeed shot on different days, it could also explain why there is rain pouring down windows at one point and bright sun shining in the windows at another, especially if the rain was actually happening during some of the shooting and not artificially created by the Tarrytown Fire Department...
YES!! You've hit on it!! Or at least a big part of it...
In the opening of Scene 85, Angelique isn't wearing anything around her neck:
Hence why I shared as clues stills taken in the tower in which she was also missing any sort of necklace:And the last of the stills to preview Scene 85, two more Angelique publicity stills that were taken in the tower room:

It's all enough to make one wonder if parts of Scene 85 were shot on different days? If not, why all the continuity goofs regarding the pendant? (And I can't believe it took me so many decades to finally even notice. But as I've often said, no matter how many times one watches something, there can still be things to notice for the first time, even continuity goofs. And I guessing not many others have noticed it either because, not only has no one ever posted about it here, but no one has ever added it to the film's goofs on IMDb.)
And like I said, it would all be bad enough on its own, but it's a really big problem when it comes to Scene 124 when, in a hugely important plot point, Angelique gives the pendant to Sarah to "remember" her by...
