Line Vautrin was born in Paris, France, in 1913 to a family of metalworkers. Mastering the trade at an early age, Vautrin left school at age 15 to pursue metal craft full time. In 1937, she secured a booth at the International Exhibition in Paris, and her jewellery began to receive widespread recognition. She quickly opened a boutique in the heart of Paris to offer her creations to a select clientele and famous decorators.
