Muses Maria Callas Ruby: Sophistication Lives On

Montblanc continues its special series dedicated to one of opera's most charismatic figures of the 20th century, Maria Callas, with a new edition in ruby.

Inspiration

The Montblanc Maria Callas Special Edition Ruby-Coloured draws inspiration from the singer's radiant presence as well as her most iconic jewellery. Known as "La Divina," Maria Callas was deeply admired for her remarkable voice, strong personality, and timeless grace. This edition celebrates both her artistic legacy and her unmistakable sense of style.

Design & Materials

The cap and barrel are crafted from precious resin in a rich ruby colour, inspired by the jewellery Maria Callas loved to wear. The slim silhouette reflects her graceful presence on stage. On the platinum-coated clip, there is a ruby-coloured synthetic stone and a petal-shaped design, referencing the Maria Callas rose introduced in 1965. Around the platinum-coated cone, a pattern of laurel leaves is reminiscent of the costume she wore in Bellini's Norma, while her signature is embossed as a finishing detail.

Writing Experience & Collectibility

The fountain pen is fitted with a handcrafted 14k rhodium-coated gold nib. To capture even more of the singer's personality, Montblanc engraves the nib with Maria Callas's iconic cat-eye makeup and the words "La Divina," the name by which she became known around the world. Both a collector's piece for opera enthusiasts and an elegant symbol of style, the new Maria Callas brings just a little more sophistication into everyday life
