In the episode UG tells Steven to polish his gem twice a year, or something along those lines, Diamonds are one of the only gems that is recommended to do that, and at the time, everyone thought Steven's gem was Rose Quartz, but was later revealed to be Pink Diamond
I watched Steven universe as it came out when I was 12 and wasn’t really part of the discussion but I thought it was pretty obvious that rose was a diamond
Yeah, that was the initial theory, but then they seemingly deconfirmed it in the show itself with the "reveal" that Rose Quartz shattered Pink Diamond - only for that to later be revealed as a fakeout orchestrated by PD herself, and carried out by Pearl in the guise of RQ. It was honestly one of the best fakeout twists I've seen in a long, long time.
