Mary Millicent is a fine jewelry company currently based in Los Angeles. Designs are inspired by the legacy of Sascha Peralta-Ramos' great-grandmother, Millicent Rogers, as well as by world events and the materials and talented craftspeople that contribute to Sascha's aesthetic.

Sascha has been interested in fashion and design all her life, particularly in Millicent's sketches, stories, and jewelry collection. In 2014, as a student at USC,
and as a working actress, fashion blogger, and philanthropist, Sascha began to use her downtime to dream up a collection of distinctive fine jewelry pieces she herself would be able to wear to events and even everyday.

In 1947, Millicent Rogers arrived in Taos, New Mexico, having moved there for her health. A global socialite from respected circles in Manhattan, she had an instinct for design that Taos and the traditions of its Southwestern Native communities nurtured and inspired. Clear in both her collection of Native jewelry and in the pieces she rendered herself is a sensitivity to the shape of precious materials and also to the human form. More than any other quality, her tastes reflected her own strength, and the strength she wanted to uncover in other women.

Mary Millicent exists to help people of any gender identity, sexuality, or sense of self become who they truly want to be in the world. The company is delighted to have seen key pieces worn by the fearless pop star Ariana Grande and the trans-activist, producer, and fine artist Zackary Drucker. With great beauty comes great responsibility, and MM will continue to support and enact holistically beautiful design,supporting the rights of all people, animals, and environments everywhere.
