Bel Canto Designs

Great quality! Amazing pieces. So many compliments!

I loved working with Bel Canto Designs to create the perfect piece to complete my wedding ensemble. Together we created a headband that matched my dress and veil perfect!! Since the wedding I have worn the headband numerous time and received many compliments. Bel Canto Designs has gorgeous piece from which to look through to create the perfect jewelry for your wedding. I highly recommend them and their services!

I ordered a vintage rhinestone and pearl necklace from Bel Canto Bridal Designs earlier this month for my wedding in October. I was looking for a high quality vintage piece at a reasonable price, and did I ever find it! The necklace is even more beautiful in person than it was in pictures, and Mari was very easy to work with; she shipped the necklace very promptly, and was nothing but professional throughout the process. I would not hesitate to work with her again in the future if the need should arise.

A few months ago, I found a very unique vintage haircomb on BelCanto Designs that I loved but was not quite ready to purchase. Mari kindly and thoughtfully answered all of my many questions over the next several weeks. Per my request, she even posted additional photos of the comb side-by-side with similar items, and positioned it in her daughter's hair so that I could get a better feel for how it would look in person. After many "check-ins" on my special comb, I finally ordered it! The item was shipped immediately and arrived at my door within a couple of days. I cannot say enough about Mari's patience and attentiveness through my ordering process. Equally wonderful is the quality of her work - I had originally planned on wearing the comb for my best friend's rehearsal dinner, but once it arrived I thought it was so special and beautiful that I decided to save it for my own wedding! I highly recommend BelCanto Designs.

Mari was a pleasure to work with! She knew exactly what I was looking for and worked with me to customize bracelets for my bridesmaids. I was so pleased with the results. They mirrored the vintage, elegant look that I was going for for my upcoming August wedding. I'd strongly recommend her and her work.

I ordered my one-of-a-kind bracelet from Bel Canto after seeing it featured on a blog. The bracelet is beautiful and arrived very quickly. The jewelry is priced in the middle range due to the fact all are made from antique pieces. They were very easy to work with and even put the piece on hold for me while I ordered it.

I purchased two stunning rhinestone hair pins and just ordered some rhinestone and pearl earrings. The pieces are tasteful and gorgeously restored. This is the place for rhinestones! Mari sends your purchases out very quickly and was very responsive to all my questions. She even tracked down the twin hairpin which was out at a boutique when I ordered the first one on Etsy. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!

I purchased my rhinestone brooch and pearl bracelet from BelCanto Designs (found on etsy.com) Love it! It was my wedding gift from my fiance. The quality is remarkable and its a piece that I hope to pass on to my own children. It has a timeless feel while still being a very relavent peice as well. I am particularly fond of Mari's prices. At $68 this bracelet rivals those listed at $95-$120 from other etsy sellers. Not to mention the shipping was fast! I would highly recommend purhcasing jewelry from BelCanto Designs.

Really great, beautiful piece. Also, very nice and accommodating. She worked with me to fine a vintage gold piece, even though those are rare.

I loved the earrings I got from Bel Canto. I was looking for something vintage, and the earrings have a beautiful filigree design with antique drop beads. Mari, the seller, was quick to respond to my questions, and once I placed the order, the shipping was super fast. The purchase was a bit of a splurge, but the earrings are absolutely perfect and I can't wait to wear them on my wedding day.

We're getting married on the point in Kettle Cove in Cape Elizabeth. I grew up in Cape, and I couldn't imagine getting married anywhere else. We're going to be doing a "mini-moon" in Bar Harbor as well.

I was telling Devin how buying the jewelery had made everything feel so real, I got butterflies! Nothing else in wedding planning so far had done that, it's a great feeling!! Thank you again for all of your help, you've been amazing!

Excellent! I will definitely share our pictures when we get them ( our photographer is amazing!) Thank you again so much for everything, you've been amazing to work with!
All the best,

A wedding jewelry designer who is a gem!!!

I found Mari & her online store on Etsy back in October 2008. Not only has Mari designed custom pieces for me the bride to be, but she also made the gifts I am giving my bridesmaids! Mari is one of the best vendors I have dealt with during my wedding planning! She is creative and really wants to make you happy!

I decided to work with Bel Canto because I was looking for some gifts for my bridesmaids and pieces for me that were original. I wanted something high end and different than what everyone else had. Because I am getting married in Italy I wanted to find something that was very romantic, lush, old world and stylish…and that is exactly what Bel Canto Designs offers.

They have been one of the only vendors I have worked with who really take the time to ask me questions about what I want. Mari was happy to listen to my ideas and understand my inspirations for the pieces I wanted.

Mari’s pieces look great on her website, but are 1000 times better in person! Since reaching out to Mari for pieces for my wedding I have purchased 3 additional pieces for gifts for friends for their birthdays! Her pieces and customer service are outstanding! When you are getting married all you want is for your vendors to listen to your ideas and give you good feedback, great customer service and quality products - this is exactly what Mari and Bel Canto do!!

I am so happy to have ordered my wedding jewelry from Bel Canto- because dealing with Mari has been so positive and fun, unlike some of the other vendors I have dealt with. When you are getting married, you spend so much time, energy and money trying to make things perfect for your day, that when you do find someone who enjoys planning a part or piece of your wedding as much as you do, you can’t help but like dealing with them and want to tell everyone how great they are!!!

I am getting married on May 21, 2009- I will post pictures of Mari pieces after our wedding…but in the meantime, please take a look at her website, she makes such beautiful pieces! I am sure you will buy something!!

Thank you so much Mari! They look absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to show them off on my big day.
I will send you a million photos!
you have been so wonderful to work with and I am grateful for everything you have done. I will be sure to stop by your shop regularly and will no doubt be wearing your jewelry for years to come.
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you,
Jane
