Blue Diamond's Court
A court of order, bound by tradition.
Blue Diamond's Court is the faction of Gems serving under Blue Diamond, a Homeworld Gem and member of the Great Diamond Authority. Blue Diamond is known for her reputation for mercy and forgiveness, as noted by Holly Blue Agate, and she demonstrated this by sparing Greg from the Cluster and restraining herself from attacking "Rose Quartz" (Steven) to give him a chance to speak. However, her true nature may conflict with this reputation, as she once sentenced Ruby to be shattered for accidentally fusing with Sapphire.

Lore & Background
Sapphire was a member of Blue Diamond's court, sent to Earth to investigate and report on the Crystal Gems' activities, specifically to locate Rose Quartz. Ruby served as one of Sapphire's bodyguards. The court operated under a strict social hierarchy, where the taboo of mixed-Gem fusion was punishable by execution. When Ruby deliberately fused with Sapphire to protect her from being shattered, they fled to escape this punishment. The court's laws were enforced by Blue Diamond's authority.
