Can you tumble silver plated jump ring chainmail?

Can you tumble silver plated chainmail jewelry to harden it? Will it affect the plating?

Stacy's Answer:

Hi Lisa. Tumbling will polish up and help to harden silver or copper jewelry but it will remove plating. So I definitely recommend not tumbling any plated metal.
