At the heart of the Sak Collection lies the cultural symbolism of UAE coins. The one fils coin, featuring a palm tree, represents sustenance and growth. The five fils coin, with its depiction of fish, reflects the UAE’s historic ties to the sea and its call for environmental conservation. The ten fils coin, showcasing a dhow, pays homage to the nation’s maritime history and spirit of exploration. Each coin is intricately framed in brushed gold, with every detail highlighting the artistry and legacy of these motifs. 

The collection includes signature pieces such as the one fils rotating ring, which offers an interactive way for wearers to connect with the past. Other key designs, like the Sak 10 fils pendant and the Sak 1 fils coin earrings, carry these cultural symbols into wearable forms, allowing individuals to celebrate tradition with every piece. 

Gafla describes the Sak Collection as more than jewellery. It is positioned as a bridge between the UAE’s past and present, preserving stories of national identity and pride. Through meticulous craftsmanship, the collection captures the enduring bond between heritage and design, encouraging wearers to connect with the cultural narrative of the UAE.

Each design highlights the intricate detailing of the original coins while integrating bold, modern aesthetics. 

The Sak Ottoman Collection honours the legacy of Ottoman coinage by adapting it into versatile jewellery that appeals to a global audience. By focusing on both authenticity and innovation, Gafla ensures these historic symbols remain relevant in today’s world.
