In the rich history of rock music few names have shone out as consistently as that of Queen. With a career spanning over five decades, the band is one of the world’s most successful of all time. During this period, Queen came to embody the power of musical creativity and most of their songs topped the charts for weeks on end. They created something like their own musical universe, made up of a combination of hard rock, glam rock, pop, funk and opera, shattering the boundaries between the genres. Taking its cue from the Greatest Hits II album of 1991, Montblanc honors with the Great Characters Homage to Queen Special Edition one of Queen’s most successful albums. Echoing the striking color combination of the double LP Greatest Hits II, the edition appears in dark blue with gold-plated fittings. The four musicians behind the sound of this legendary compilation album have gone down in history: Freddy Mercury, the charismatic front man with a vocal range spanning several octaves and colored by a rich vibrato; Brian May, the virtuoso guitarist and his unmistakable electric guitar sound; John Deacon, the versatile and creative bass player; and Roger Taylor, the rhythmic heart of the band. As a sign of their musical virtuosity, which made the 1991 album one of the biggest-selling and best-known in the world, the ‘tools of their trade’ are subtly immortalized on the precious resin: microphone and bass on the cap; guitar and drum kit on the barrel. On their Greatest Hits II album the band presented a broad selection of their chart hits, from rock anthems to catchy pop songs – including iconic tracks such as A Kind of Magic, classics like Radio Ga Ga and The Show Must Go On, the rousing I Want to Break Free or the poignant Under Pressure, a collaboration with David Bowie. Alongside Freddy Mercury’s voice, the key to the band’s special sound was the outstanding guitar-playing of Brian May. The writing instrument honors him and his virtuosity by the shape of the tip. Designed with the characteristic volume and tone control knobs of his famous electric guitar in mind, the cone features a delicate fluting pattern, a small red dot as well as an engraving of the release date of the Greatest Hits II album. The crown worn by Mercury during the closing rendition of God Save The Queen was the inspiration behind the silhouette of the cap top of the Special Edition and is at the same time a metaphor for the majestic character of the band and its musical legacy. The gold-coated clip is designed to resemble a microphone stand in reference to one of the hallmarks of Freddie Mercury’s live performances.

We had an amazing experience at Baxter's! I came in with a broken engagement ring that needed to be completely rebuilt and Janina was phenomenal to work with on this. She delivered on everything she promised, and we are very happy with the final outcome. Highly recommend Baxter's!

Baxter's is the best jeweler ever! They always go above and beyond to make my pieces perfect! Everyone is friendly and accommodating! They even welcome my Bear, a well-behaved Bernedoodle. He loves going in and getting so much attention! I would not even consider going anywhere else! Thank you, everyone!! Always a fun time!!

My husband and I recently had the pleasure of working with Janina to design and execute my 25th anniversary band. It is gorgeous! I'm so pleased with how the ring turned out and as in the past, Baxter's exceeded our expectations. Janina and the Baxter's staff were attentive, creative, patient, and professional during every step of this process. Very happy with our experience and highly recommend them!

We had the absolute best experience shopping at Baxter's! Michael was patient and showed us so many options for wedding bands. He wrote down what we liked and made a profile for us, so when we returned during bridal month he already knew what we liked. Our rings came in quickly and they are perfect! Thank you so much, Baxters!

Had the best experience picking out wedding bands at Baxters! The selection of rings was enormous there was so much to choose from! Paulina was amazing she helped us find our dream rings and was so knowledgeable! It was our first time at the store and we will definitely be making all of our jewelry purchases here from now on, thank you Baxters!
