contents Jones introduced a method to produce unoriented links from elements of the Thompson's group $F$, and proved that any link can be produced by this construction. In this paper, we attempt to investigate the relations between conjugacy classes of the group $F$ and the links being constructed. For each unoriented link $L$, we find a sequence of elements of $F$ from distinct conjugacy classes which yield $L$ via Jones's construction. We also show that a sequence of $2$-bridge links can be constructed from elements in the conjugacy class of $x_0$ (resp. $x_1$).
