We are so excited to announce that our new “baby”, belcantodesigns.com, has arrived!
In our new shop you will find more of the lovely “heirloom” jewelry and hair adornments that we love to make. We are also adding sashes of luxurious swiss satin with beaded vintage inspired accents.
Our photo shoot for the shop was fun! Here are a few of the photos you might like. Our lovely model is one of my voice students, Sinclaire, and she was so easy to work with.
To find our shop, just click “collections” at the top of the page.

Thought I’d better share these beautiful shots from the Fall/Winter Vermont Vows and WellWed magazines before the new year! Note one of the lovely bracelets from the Bel Canto Designs collection.

Happy holidays and a Merry Christmas to you all!

Too long in coming, but here are a couple more pages from the WellWed fall magazines in which our bridal jewelry appears…


I hope you agree these were worth the wait. Stunning model and photographs!

Two weeks ago, we did a trunk show over at Victorian Rose Bridal in Raleigh, NC.
What a fun day!
It was a stop on the “Ultimate Finders Keepers” hunt for a $20,000 ring sponsored by Bailey’s Jewelers. A festive atmosphere prevailed throughout downtown. At Victorian Rose Bridals, visitors were treated with glasses of champagne and wonderful cupcakes courtesy of the Cupcake Shoppe next-door.
The most fun, however, was working with the Victorian Rose staff as they individually tended to their lovely brides-to-be. This staff is caring as well as discerning. They have the ability to guide their brides through this experience with knowledge, courtesy and, when called for, a great deal of fun.
I personally enjoyed the entourages of the brides to be. The opinions, the stories, the laughter and most importantly, the sharing of finding the RIGHT dress.
We were there to help the brides find vintage hair combs and jewelry to work with their dress. Molly was one of those brides. Below we are trying combs in her make-shift up do.

We will be back at Victorian Rose Bridal on November 27th and I am sure it will be another great time….come join us if you are in the area!
WellWed magazines graciously gave us permission to use the images in which Bel Canto Designs bracelets appear (see 10/25/2009 post). Here is one of the covers with our jewelry:

This has been an exciting time for us! Bel Canto Designs jewelry appeared in the Fall/Winter editions of Vermont Vows and the three WellWed magazines of New York, the Hamptons and Cape Cod (http://www.wellwed.com). These unique boutique magazines, full of lush photography, specialize in providing ideas, information and guidance for East Coast destination weddings. A number of our bracelets appeared in the ”All Aboard” feature, 20 pages of vintage-inspired gowns, beautifully shot at the Green Mountain Railroad in Vermont. One of our bracelets even made the cover of WellWed in New York!
As soon as we get permission to include some of the photographs in our blog, we will. Please stay tuned…
We have just returned from an anniversary trip the outer banks. The weather was gorgeous and the outer banks SO beautiful. I caught a glimpse of a few weddings. One wedding party headed for the beach through the dunes….and one headed for a restaurant putting on shoes. And then a few signs by the dunes announcing a wedding taking place on that particular beach. It was a perfect early fall day and their photographs are probably going to be gorgeous.
Here are a few more of our new creations to keep you inspired until our next posting!


Just two of our recent creations. The earrings may be perfect for someone’s new fall look?
