@Ronaldo Defective (Or moreso 'defect') is also a word that refers to traitors i.e. an ally defecting (switching) to the other side. Which is essentially what Pearl did, so it may not necessarily refer to her being defective physically.

I also think Pearl wasn't made specifically for her Diamond. We also know that Pink was likely the youngest one and according to Peridot resources on Homeworld were running low. What if our Pearl was gifted from White Diamond (Which would explain the gem placement) BUT maybe if something was wrong with her, gem shape, cut coloring etc. wasn't fit for WD and was considered Off Colored and given to PD as a result since she herself does not fit the ideal look of a Diamond.
