I had no idea so much light was required! I guess you're shooting at a narrow aperture to get as much of the jewelry piece in focus as possible in a single shot? or are the lights to emphasize the shiny edges and facets of the jewels?

Now that's a lot of gear. I had wondered from your earlier post about your "Set" and your Props. I assume all of these are your own design. I'm impressed!
