And you shall make for the breastpiece two rings of gold, and put the two rings on the two edges of the breastpiece.
The breast-plate, fastened by golden chains to the ephod, holds the names of all twelve tribes before God continually. Aaron bears them as a memorial; and so our great High Priest carries His people into the very presence of God, where by faith we sit with Him in heavenly places even now.

Commenting on Exodus 28:15-30
And thou shalt put two wreathen chains of gold in the two rings,.... This expresses both how many chains were to be made, which is not before said, and the use of them, or where they were to be put, as well as the use of the rings: which are on the ends of the breastplate; the two uppermost ends or corners of it.
And thou shalt make upon the breastplate two rings of gold, and shalt put the two rings on the two ends of the breastplate. (k) Which are upmost toward the shoulder.
