Pieta,

    It is not necessary to tumble the jump rings before you create your
    chain, bracelet. Once you have completed the assembly and affixed
    the clasp, them put it all in the tumbler. 

    If you are using steel shot and either a rotary or vibratory
    tumbler, 20 minutes may be all you need. It is easy to take it out
    and check. If there are a few rough areas or more shine needed, try
    another 20 minutes. 

HTH
