Might need to alter this line -- " Any form of infidelity displayed towards the Diamonds is considered punishable by death. "  to  "punishable by being shattered."

The Cluster proves that gems don't (technically) experience death upon being shattered. Their consciousness lives on. Even Yellow Diamond is aware that the shards are capable of forming a new being.

And thus far, it is only Rose Quartz that has been speculated to experience 'death', as she doesn't physically or consciously exist.
