Wishing to renew a carved piece of Chinese Jadeite to become wearable, I took the piece to him to clean and have a gold clasp of some kind fit to the top so on special occasions I would be able to attach it to a heavy gold necklace that I wear. I left the piece with Bill and asked him to do what he could to improve the piece. My son John Landkamer brought it to me just now. I opened the box and gasped at the transformation! Bill polished and cleaned the piece and created an almost glowing mystical piece of a long unused piece. It had been waiting for the gorgeous gold ornamental clasp that Bill created just for this unusual piece. Truly you are an artist, Bill. Thank you! I hope others who have treasures that need to be reborn will ask Bill for his help in renewing their pieces. Joan brand-Landkamer
