Exodus 39:16

14 The twelve stones corresponded to the names of the sons of Israel. Each stone was engraved like a seal with the name of one of the twelve tribes.

15 For the breastpiece they made braided chains like cords of pure gold.

They also made two gold filigree settings and two gold rings, and fastened the two rings to the two corners of the breastpiece.

17 Then they fastened the two gold chains to the two gold rings at the corners of the breastpiece,

18 and they fastened the other ends of the two chains to the two filigree settings, attaching them to the shoulder pieces of the ephod at the front.

This was said to Israel at a particular time, so it is wise to read it together with the surrounding text. Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
