If bothe the jewels have the same skill at the same level of use then only the percent chance of going off will be stacking.
Example of 2 of the same jewel shown in the picture socketed into items. You would get (100%+100%=) 200% chance to cast level 47 Chain Lightning shen you die. Since it was already an automatic success to go off, there is not really much benefit to doubling an automatic chance (but you will be get +6% to damage, -6% to enemy resists).
Now if the jewels do not have fixed level of skill use when they spawn (where the skill level is determined by the items ilvl as it is in cases like the Light Sabres), then you could be getting multiple attacks by different skill level Chain Lightnings going off all at once. Then there is the matter of having other types of Rainbow Facets that may have different skills on them.
