In my oppinion, Stevens shield is based on his personality. Garnets personality is violent and brutish. In the episode Too Many Birthdays, Garnet shakes steven and when asked for her reasoning, states, "I thought violence would work". Her weapon are gauntlets, a close ranged blunt weapon. Pearl is percise in everything she does. She is always tidy, so it makes sense that she has a spear, a long weapon with a single point. Amethyst is a little more complicated, since her life can go any way at any time. But thinking about it it also makes sense. Her whip is free flowing, and can be used from a distance with little work. Steven has a high level of compassion he would give his life to save the people he loves, so a defensive weapon like a shield makes sense. If your weapon is based on your personality, then it is logical that they have similar weapons, but not identical. I think that the sword in Lion 2: The Movie was Roses weapon. A sword and shield go together well, but I cannot say for sure that the sword is Roses weapon.
