It would reveal the true shape of her gem, however I don't think Pearl not going through with it didn't have anything to do with the vow of silence.
I kind of get the feeling the geas only applied to verbal or textual communication or possibly visual pantomime. If it was really able to control Pearl's every action to keep the secret, she shouldn't have even been able to do what she did in that episode.
And let's not forget that for the longest time, Pearl was proud to keep this secret. It was probably only around the time of "Back to the Moon" when she saw Steven's reaction to finding out "Rose" shattered Pink Diamond that she started to think "maybe I need to find a way to tell him." The events of "I am my Mom" were probably when she started thinking "I definitely need to find a way to tell him." Which is probably why it took her this long to figure out a Loophole Abuse.

Disgusted, but not surprisedI am going to reiterate the following questions, because I really do require some feedback for them. So please answer them, anyone who can
1. Is anybody else more than a tad bit annoyed by the fact that both Eyeball and Aquamarine actually never got any sort of comeuppance for all of the things that they both said and did?
2. Has anyone else noticed that Sapphire is pretty much the only blue Crystal Gem? I mean, every other blue gem that we have seen so far has either been a Homeworld Gem (Blue Diamond, Blue Pearl, Holly Blue Agate, Aquamarine and the Defending Zircon) or an unaligned gem with no real affiliations towards either side whatsoever (Lapis Lazuli and Fluorite). But, in terms of the Crystal Gems; they have been known to have one red gem, one white gem, one pink gem, two purple gems, four purple gem fusions, one pink gem fusion, one red gem fusion, one magenta gem fusion and most recently a green gem. However Sapphire is the only confirmed blue gem among the CG team, which does make me wonder what this show has against the color blue?
3. It has been stated that the holidays; Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas don’t exist in this world but why is that the case? I mean what could the Gems have possibly done to cause the original historical starting points for these holidays to never happen?
4. When exactly did these following fan theories first start to resonate within the fandom?
A. There was a great Diamond Authority in control of all of Gemkind B. There were other Diamonds in charge besides the mentioned Yellow Diamond of “The Return” episode C. Rose Quartz was Pink Diamond
When did these theories first start become common knowledge amongst the fandom?
As far as we know, there was no religion (or at least, Christianity) so thats why those holidays dont exist.
As for predicting the Diamonds, someone saw the "Three Triangle" symbol I'm Jasper's ship in Jailbreak and then compared it to the "Four Diamond" symbol in the sky arena in Sworn to the Sword and realized that there was a pink in the old model symbol that's currently missing from the new one. And thus the theory.
More seriously I think you're reading too much into that. All only having one blue gem in the Crystal Gems means is they only have one blue gem in the Crystal Gems.
Also a reminder, given some of the replies, that a gem's color doesn't automatically indicate who they serve, or else Amethyst would be pink and Yellow Diamond's Rubies would be yellow and our Ruby would be blue.
I got nothing for #4 because that's not a topic I ever followed.

It probably helps that Pearl would constantly jump between her and danger
Forever liveblogging the AvengersFor a time, I thought gem colors that matched a diamond color served that diamond (so essentially primary colors were unique to one of the primary color diamonds, with treating pink as red in this case), and that the secondary colors could be moved under the two colors that make up that secondary color but wouldn't be under the third primary at all. So rubies under pink, topazes under yellow and sapphires under blue. Then you have orange jems like Jasper who could serve pink/yellow diamond but not blue, green Peridot under yellow/blue diamond but not pink and purple amethyst under blue/pink diamond but not yellow.
Of course, this idea fell apart as more gems were revealed like Blue's rubies and skinny Jasper. Considering their caste system, though, it wouldn't be surprising seeing them be that OCD and specific in their separations at one time.
-Witty line-> I thought gem colors that matched a diamond color served that diamond
They still do,but it usually depends on what they do and how high up they are,Gems like the rubies are common foot soldiers who could called upon by any Diamond,Gems like Lapis are specified to be terraformers so that might mean transformering planets is something handled by Blue Diamonds's court

have a listen and have a link to my discord serverThe only indicator I've seen to show what Diamond a given Gem serves is the Diamond emblem they wear. Our Ruby wore blue, Jasper had yellow. Rose had pink in "Your Mother and Mine"
The Pearls are probably an exception to that, since they're made specific for their owners so matching their color to a Diamond seems like an easy enough assumption to make.

I think the Rose is Pink Diamond theory goes as far back as the first season, when I joined the fandom in at about the time of the season one finale the theory was still around. I know people cited the Pink Diamond insignia being present from the older Diamond Insignias and absent in the more modern ones, so we know something was up with Pink, though I forget why that meant Rose was Pink. We knew something was up with Pink because for so long they avoided talking about her. People thinking Pearl was Pink Diamond's Pearl goes back about as far back as "Back to the Barn" where we first learned Pearl's were handmaidens, I know up until then people thought Pearls were technicians thanks to episodes like "Space Race." One big piece of evidence people often cited was Pearl leaving the group during their trip to the moon base with Peridot. When Peri was explaining who Yellow Diamond was, Pearl was off looking at Pink's portrait, which we now know was exactly what happened. I feel like there was a more substantial piece of evidence that I can't remember.
That's pretty much the basis for any similar theories...
