Handcrafted in New York by Allison of Last Outpost.

Beneath the very heart of Paris, twenty metres below ground, the "World's Largest Grave" contains the remains of six million Parisians, transferred there gradually between the late eighteenth and mid-nineteenth centuries. In a maze over 200 miles of old caves, tunnels and quarries, with dark galleries and narrow passages, The Paris Catacombs house a tableau of death, with bones arranged in a macabre display of high Romantic taste. Poems and passages, both sacred and profane, adorn the walls to offer each witness ponderous pause. 

Omne crede diem tibi diluxisse supremum.
Know that each day that dawns may be your last.
- Horace
 


Hand crafted in solid sterling silver, the Catacomb Ring is massive, with the top plaque spanning 25mm square. Stacks of skulls and femurs surround all four sides. Averages 25 to 30 grams depending on shank size.
