Jewels for Breakfast: The Jewelry Department at Paramount Pictures

ABOUT THE PRESENTATION: Paramount Pictures Archivist, Jaci Rohr, loves that her job is immersed in Hollywood lore. Paramount is the only studio with a Jewelry Archive, covering over 100 years of film history. The Jewelry Archive (AKA Jaci’s office) is a stop on the studio V.I.P. Tour.

On any given day, she may be prepping, schlepping and cataloguing for archive inventory or museum exhibitions.  Her weird esoteric skills are useful for researching the care and construction of the objects.

But identifying which star wore any of the 12,000 gems takes some seriously fun sleuthing. Jaci, The Jewelry Detective, is on the hunt!

ABOUT THE SPEAKER:  Jaci Rohr is a Jewelry and Costume Archivist at Paramount Pictures. She has been an entertainment industry costumer for 30 years. Her life-long interest in costuming began at age 5 when she discovered the joys of dressing up her dog.

Exercising both sides her brain, she got an Art Degree, and then really enjoyed her science-nerdy job at IBM, too. Jaci studied historical costume and acquired some mad skills in the “lost arts” – Victorian ribbon work, corset-making and millinery. She ran her own costume manufacturing business, invented wacky rigs for reality TV show gags, and developed pet products before joining the Archive.

Booster shot eligibility is defined as:

• Moderna recipients ages 18-plus and Pfizer recipients ages 16-plus are eligible for a booster 6 months after their second vaccine dose.
• Johnson & Johnson vaccine recipients ages 18-plus are eligible for a booster 2 months after their initial vaccine.
