Retainer Gear?

Hit 15 on my retainer, so did a small gear overhaul for her. I gave her some bracelets that had the little page icon (meaning they were part of a gear set on one of my gatherers). I thought I'd get some warning, but I did not... am I correct in thinking that once the gear goes ON the retainer, it is removed from ANY gear set on my character?

Its not removed from your gearset, itll be registered as missing, if you want it to be removed then just switch to the class that had the piece and re register the gearset with the piece missing.But yes theres no warning, if you didnt intend to give that piece just put it back in your inventory and itll be like before
