Nah, I don't think that's quite it. She seems more logical than to think of them are mere trinkets, despite her seemingly impulsive nature. Pearls, maybe, but I really can't imagine her being that stupid. Gems are what give them power. Not in the sense that they feast on them or that they consume them, but like in the sense that governments get their power from their people. Once the homeworld population is removed, what's left but three giants with hundreds of colonies to run by themselves? And I don't think that Yellow is focused on Conquest for the sake of Conquest, I think she, as well, knows that she only has power because of her people (which is why, despite the verbal abuse, she's at least not physically abusive on  regular basis, unlike White). And I don't think that white was angry enough to do that. If she's so tempermental that she'll poof and bubble d i a m o n d s, and she somehow managed to scar her pearl, which might I remind you, is a light projection, what makes you think that she'll try to restrain herself around pink, the least powerful gem? No, she doesn't care about Earth and hasn't for millenia. She likely thought that her corrupted monsters (which, I personally believe she meant to do) would take care of it.
