Nah, I think they just ran out of time. Monty or somebody got hit by the plotbrick of doom. "Oh, shit! What if we...!" (The number of times I have said this to myself while writing is astounding, truly.) And so, they scrambled to add Raven in there. Also, I am fairly certain we have seen Coco where the same necklace. It's probably a popular brand name.

I stand by my belief that Raven is either Yang's mother or her cousin, via Qrow.
