Jasper didn't refer to either Pearl or Amethyst as if they are one of a kind... more as if they are imperfect versions of "Pearls" and "Amethysts"

Pearl may be one of a, "batch" of pearls, I think. If you think about pearls as a "gemstone" are farily easy to manufacture in comparison to other gems. It just involves having a bunch of molusks and then implanting an irritant inside the molusk so it would produce a pearl around it.

As for the defective statement. The value of a pearl, at least in human society, is based on its color, shape and a few other factors.

Last I checked, Pearl's gem is much more of an egg shaped than spherical. Though I have no idea how much shape affects the value of a pearl.

Where Amethyst is concerned,  overcooked may be considered an insult because Amethyst can be manufactured in a sense as well... Its done by taking a piece of quartz and irradiating it.

Either way these are just a few thoughts/theories that came to mind considered the latest episodes and taking into consideration that the Kindergardens exist, where gems are "made".

Its fairly easy to assume that both Pearl and Amethyst are just two individuals out of dozens potentially hundreds.
