    One way to tumble jump rings and avoid tangling is to string them on
    wire or electrical ties.  Use a gauge of wire heavier than the jump
    rings. 

    This technique is useful for keeping small bits together of any type
    when tumbling.  And if you use a mechanical sorter, an electrical
    tie will keep a tiny part from being sifted with the media. 
    Tumbling works great - just be sure you can find what you are
    tumbling.
