Pearl was initially insulted about the Gem. The Gem represented a homeworld view of her that was negative. Now, she sees her as a possible Crystal Gem– Steven has shown Peridot the beauty of the world, and Peridot has become a better gem. Pearl sees that. Pearl also sees her attempt to accept Pearl as an equal and not as beneath Peridot.
