Bug out like a billionaire.

If you sent a four-wheel-drive Ford F-550 Lariat to boot camp, it would emerge as an EarthRoamer LTi. The EarthRoamer is the Jason Momoa of RVs, large and chiseled—fun fact, the beefy Aquaman star owns one. Built in Dacono, Colorado, amid a landscape of mountains and off-road trails, this glampsite on wheels can cover thousands of miles over whatever terrain a 29-foot-long, eight-foot-wide machine can navigate. It’ s got an equipment list as long as the Colorado River and a starting price ($695,000) to match its massive footprint. Here ’ s what makes the EarthRoamer LTi the king of the hill.

Observed: 9 mpg S U PER S I Z E M E A four-wheel-drive Ford F-550 Lariat dually chassis cab supports this off-road fortress. The frame is extended 40 inches and reinforced for increased strength. The rear axle is converted to a single-wheel, and EarthRoamer’s camper mount—a novel pivoting design—moves separately from the cab. Remote reservoir dampers are standard, as are air springs and heavy-duty anti-roll bars. N O PR O PA N E EarthRoamer prides itself on self-sustainability (not to be confused with sustainability, as the LTi weighs around 17,000 pounds). The Ford-stock 330-hp turbo-diesel 6.7-liter V-8’s coolant circuit provides heat for the camper and water. When the 6.5-gallon hot-water tank’s heat energy is depleted, an additional diesel-fueled heater kicks in. C A R B O N - F I B ER TENT EarthRoamer’s camper shell is made of layers of foam surrounded by carbon fiber, sort of like a campfire s’more. The X-Guard paint—closer to bed liner than clear-coat—on the LTi we drove was the color of a Coleman stove and added $12,000 to the build. Scrapes from tree branches easily scrub away at the local carwash.

H O M E S W EE T H O M E The kitchen is nice enough for HGTV. Magnetized drawers prevent the Shun knives from rattling, while plates fit snugly in Charcoal Oak cabinets. Scratch-resistant dual-pane windows muffle the hoots and coyote yodels of the wild night, and the LTi’s available GOST security system and FLIR infrared camera add another level of comfort to those wary of killer fauna. With the click of a button, the security system can lock the doors, roll up the awning, retract the stairs, and turn on every LED light. Just try to blow this house down, big bad wolves. B I G F EE T Forty-three-inch Goodyear G275 MSA rubber wraps Hutchinson 20-inch military-spec wheels designed to survive mine detonation. Double-beadlock rims keep the enormous tires from wandering off during aireddown driving. C ATC H I N G R AY S Four 330-watt solar panels feed and charge an 11.0-kWh lithium-ion battery that powers the refrigerator, stove, and LED lighting (including in the optional wine cabinet) when the turbo-diesel V-8 isn’t running.

’t begin to describe this gorgeous ring...it is absolutely stunning. The workmanship and style is out of this world. Please order this ring, you won ’t be disappointed. ”

The Fifth C?

Cut, Color, Carat, Clarity…Chemistry?

Is it possible that the mind of a scientist can create more beauty and romance than Mother Nature? The Ultimate Diamond Alternative ® , DiamondAura® , was created with one mission in mind: Create brilliant cut jewelry that allows everyone to experience more clarity, more scintillation and larger carat weights than they have ever experienced. So, we ’ ve taken 2 ½ carats of our Ultimate Diamond Alternative ® DiamondAura® and set them in the most classic setting—the result is our most stunning, fiery, faceted design yet! In purely scientific measurement terms, the refractory index of these stones is very high, and the color dispersion is actually superior to mined diamonds.

Perfection from science. We named our brilliant cut diamond alternative stones DiamondAura because “ they dazzle just like natural diamonds but without the outrageous cost. ” We will not bore you with the incredible details of the scientific process, but will only say that it involves the use of rare minerals heated to an incredibly high temperature of nearly 5000˚F. This can only be accomplished inside some very modern and expensive laboratory equipment. After several additional steps, scientists finally created a clear marvel that looks even better than the vast majority of mined diamonds. According to the book Jewelry and Gems–the Buying Guide, the technique used in our diamond alternative DiamondAura® offers, “The best diamond simulation to date, and even some jewelers have mistaken these stones for mined diamonds. ”

The 4 C’ s. Our 3-Stone Classique Ring retains every jeweler ’ s specification: color, clarity, cut, and carat weight. The transparent color and clarity of our diamond alternative DiamondAura® emulate the most perfect diamonds—D Flawless, and both are so hard they will cut glass. The brilliant cut maximizes the fire and radiance of the stone so that the light disperses into an exquisite rainbow of colors.

Rock solid guarantee. This .925 sterling silver ring is prong-set with a 1 ½ carat round brilliant stone in the center, showcased between two round brilliants stones of ½ carat each. Adding to your 4 C’ s, we will include our Ultimate Diamond Alternative ® DiamondAura® stud earrings for FREE! Try the DiamondAura® 3-Stone Classique Ring at $39 for 30 days. If for any reason you are not satisfied with your purchase, simply return it to us for a full refund of the item purchase price and keep the stud earrings as our gift.
