The intruder is going to put down the bracelet or watch in her living room so that she sees it and picks it up, making it easier to kill her. This is an intertextual reference from Heavenly Creatures when the two girls place the precious stone on the walk that their mother was going to take so that she's pick it up and while she was crouching down, they would kill her by repeatedly hitting her in the head with a brick.
He takes the bracelet again which suggests he is going to use it on his next victim. This is simliar to Luther (a BBC crime/thriller) as the taxi driver murderer took a necklace from his victim. It can also be compared to Thorne;Sleepyhead where the killer takes a necklace from his first victim, and uses it on his second to entice her, making her think he wanted a relationship.
Why is this blog post called 'cliffhanger'? It has nothing to do with that narrative technique.
