Gregory says, ‘Atlas Accessories got started because at 55 I decided I wanted to do something for myself’. It brings together his love of jewellery design, interest in meaning and symbolism and enjoyment of storytelling. In fact as soon as he’d got some of his designs made into ‘actual proper pieces of jewellery’ people were asking him where they could buy the bracelets.
The next stage was coming up with the name, Gregory says, ‘the whole concept behind the accessories is meaning and symbolism and the materials all have animal symbolism or stone symbolism… so I wanted the name of the company to embody that and the more I thought about it I had this dog called Atlas he was pretty much my best friend – the most important thing in my life and like in any culture they say if you call out the name of a divinity or an entity… it’s calling on that benevolence or that spirit in some way or that energy’.
Gregory talks about the importance of the leather and stones used in his jewellery and how they are great for storytelling. ‘By combining all these natural materials you can create symbolic meaning in the individual pieces and the reason that’s important I think it’s great for storytelling. Like when I meet someone, especially if I’m a little nervous, they usually ask about my bracelets and I can point to one and I can tell a little story that just tells a little bit about me and kind of how I view the world’. The interview was recorded on Wednesday 24th November at 12pm GMT.
