All the gem's missions have taken place on Earth. In "On The Run," Steven and Amethyst walked to the kindergarten location. In "Keep Beach City Weird!" Ronaldo is obsessed with conspiracy theories about Beach City: He's certain something is wrong with it. There's a probability that the Earth is already compromised, if not fundamentally changed, by the Gem homeworld incursion. I suspect Beach City is but a replica of the real city that was destroyed. Steven stumbled into a copy of Beach City and it's inhabitants when he entered "Rose's Room." It's possible the gems replicated the city out of pity.

Pearl said during "Fusion Cuisine" episode that their bodies are "humanoid constructs" which leads me to believe that they're not their original bodies, at least for Garnet and Pearl. Peridot is an original.

Lapis Lazuli was imprisoned in the mirror by Pearl and the others after she refused to go along with their plans to betray the Gem homeworld incursion.

Just some thoughts.
