Can Statues be encrusted?

[Ulfarr]

At the very least statues can receive improvements/decorations as evident by the reaction for glazing the ceramic ones. I'm not sure if it's already an option in game* but creating a custom reaction for encrusting statues should be possible.

*You can test it by setting a Jeweler's workshop to  take "raw materials" from a stockpile that only accepts statues and the type of gem that you want to use.

[Hyndis]

Statues are furniture, and you can encrust furniture with a jeweler's workshop.

It is helpful to have your gem stockpile and your furniture stockpile to give to the jeweler's workshop. This forces the jeweler to only decorate things in the linked stockpiles. Set the furniture stockpile to accept items you want decorated, and then have this stockpile take from your main furniture stockpile. Dwarves will haul to this special stockpile and jewelers will work until you either run out of gems or items to decorate.

Also note that you can select what kind of decoration you want to do. You can leave it up to the artist, have it be a specific type of decoration, or even depict a precise image you want decorated.
