This bracelet jewelry making project is an advanced beginner's project. The bracelet is made of 6 wire components that can be made on any WigJig with these components connected by wrapped bead links. The name for the bracelet is 2-1 simply because the wire components used make a bracelet that alternates between two wrapped bead links then one wrapped bead link, then back to two.
