There's a loophole. Gems cannot retain a different projected form indefinitely through ordinary shapeshifting, but their default projected form can itself permanently change after being poofed. Every time Garnet, Amethyst or Pearl poofed and reformed, they always had a slightly different new permanent appearance. There's nothing that necessarily says this permanent change of appearance must be slight&mdash;in Pink Diamond's case, it happened to be a drastic deliberate cosmetic change.
