I'm really feeling that our Pearl is one of many Pearls on homeworld after watching Sworn to the Sword. Before that, I kinda thought that there might be more than one when Jasper called her a "lost, defective pearl" because that kind of implies that she's one out of many, otherwise, how could she be defective? Then Pearl said "Rose made me feel like.... Everything" which also makes one think that, maybe because there are so many Pearls, she felt like a number instead of an individual. Crossing into our world, pearls are the only gemstone that comes from a living organism, so they can be farmed quite easily (making more than one would be easy?). That being said, the Kindergarden is kinda used for that too, but before Homeworld gems discovered earth, they wouldn't be able to mass-produce gems like that, so they might have another sytem that only makes pearls. Plus, even if she's "defective", Pearl's personality is what many people would lable as "perfect" and would be very useful for Homeworld gems in an army or other setting. She's neat and organized, is a perfectionest,  is willing to die for her cause and possesses tremendous skill with her weapon as well as a sword. Pretty great army-material, except that she lacks self-preservation to a degree, takes a long time to regenerate, and lacks imagination, useful for battles. The Homeworld gems would need more "regular" gems to lead armies and battle for them, so they used Kindergardens to produce more gems that were strong in areas that pearls are weak, creating gems like Amythyst, who has a great imagination and regenerates in no time flat.

Whew. Good to get that off of my chest, even if others have already thought of it.
