All right, second theory, That pearl isn't a regular gem but some kind of mass produced gem thats given to high ranking officals.

This is something I first thought of in Rose's Scabbard when Pearl was replaying her conversation with Rose, Rose said "My Pearl" not much evidence to go on I admit but the way pearl acts in this episode, how undyingly loyal to and eager to serve Rose she is, it seems almost like her entire purpose was to serve Rose, like that's what she was made for.

The next clue I got to this was in The Return when Jasper refered to Pearl she sadi "Some lost deffective pearl?" this wouldn't be so interesting if she refered to the others by their names but she didn't, she didn't seem to know any of their names or who they even were outside of them being the resistence, so how could she know Pearls? On top of that when se did call her by name, but she didn't say it like a name, more like a title like thats WHAT she is not WHO she is. Add to this how she said she was deffective and lost it was like she was talking about a thing that shes seen many times before functioning properly. It could be said that thats because she had little to no respect for the gems but she at least called Amethyst a runt, implying that she thinks of Amethyst as a who not a what.

Finally, and I know this is one of the weaker points I'm making, her name, shes Pearl, and while Pearls are Calcium Carbonate in Crystaline form they are not in reality gem stones. Again I admit that this isn't a huge point but added with everything else I think it's at least something to think about.
