Keeley Jones, 26, advertises Reed sapphires in new ad campaign

The Imperial Jeweler, Reed Jewelry, has announced that it has selected Ms. Keeley Jones to exclusively represent the Imperial Jeweler in its upcoming sapphire campaign. Ms. Jones, 26, of Vilbin, Nevaras, is represented by Kauffman agency and has just completed her degree program at Nevaras Duchy University in hydroengineering. According to Reed spokesman Henry Wilcox, "Ms. Jones entered a talent search on a dare, was picked up by Kauffman Modeling Agency, and was almost immediately signed to Reed after that."

Wilcox said Jones was selected to be the face of the new Sapphire campaign which will run over the next two years because "her eyes match the gems, pure and simple." He said the photographers found Ms. Jones to be very easy to work with and very interested in modelling. "She is really easy going and very down to earth," said Wilcox. "And because she is quite new to modelling, Ms. Jones takes direction well. She doesn't have a bunch of preconceived notions about what she is doing in modelling. She said she appreciates the opportunity to appear glamorously in some of the most amazing photos taken by the best photographers in the nation, and for her this is a definite benefit." For the three year contract, Ms. Jones will receive more than K$1.2 million Imperial Rubles from Reed.

Following the announcement of the Contract, Ms. Jones said, "Well, modelling is nice for the moment, but everything fades. They made that clear: Models have a bit of a short shelf life, often as long as pro Rugby players. But its nice that I have my degrees behind me, and after modelling, who knows? I can easily go to irrigation systems in the Central Valley, which is what I set out to do in the first place." Jones said she has no desire to leverage modelling into other fields. "I'm a scientist. I am interested in systems and efficiency. Modelling is more or less a distraction from that: a fun one, don't get me wrong. But a distraction nonetheless. So I'll do it until I am done and then I am back to what I love which is helping design systems that increase yields and feed more of my fellow Kalistanis."

Ms. Jones will appear in numerous magazine ads, as well as televised ads. "They have me scheduled for a trade fair early next year, and I suppose I will be doing that sort of thing for a while. But with the kind of money they are paying me, my schedule is quite light. I suppose Reed likes to protect its assets, and I hope my work for them pays dividends." Jones said the Imperial jeweler has a lot of sapphire pieces for her to model over the next three years, "all of which will be sold in their two flagship stores in Kaliburg and Sulari," she said with a laugh.

"Oh yeah, and I get to keep everything I wear," she laughs. "These pieces are specially made for me, and the other pieces are based off these. And they are paying my commission to the Agency for any in-kind gifts. Reed truly is an amazing company, but then again, that's their reputation. I guess its why they create Jewelry for the Royal Family too."
