It depends on the situation.

I might consider the DRICORE subfloor system for areas like this. It insulates the concrete, making the room dryer. Can be shimmed effectively to get everything perfectly level. Far quicker than multiple layers of pouring and installing plywood. Although the underlayer should be vented or drained in some way. And you are paying for the benefits.

>Loading gem powder instead of a dye into resin? Not cheap

The only really expensive part here is acquiring the gem powder. The rest is pouring it in a mold, letting it cure, and then polishing it into a specific detail. Simple round rings are terribly easy to make. Longevity is an issue as you need to know the correct formula to keep the outer layer from flaking or peeling apart.
