Darwin’s Theory of Evolution may not reign supreme in everyone’s book these days, but here in Boston, it remains pretty much a given.

In our classrooms. In labs and museums. And, without a doubt, in our jewelry lines.

Just ask local designer Lana Barakat, who’s just come off a major overhaul of her online jewelry boutique, Lazuli — and made a few showstopping additions to its contemporary collection in the process.

Witness the innovative likes of the Ribcage Cuff, a sleek, sterling silver bracelet of slinky bands. Or the abstract but approachable necklaces, with dangling leaves of matte and hammered metal.

It’s all found on the new Lazuli site — now evolved to be very much like the jewelry itself: streamlined, bold, and simplified for maximum effect.

Just call it survival of the chicest.
