An employee soaked a customer's amber necklace in solvent to clean it & I worry about tumble polishing this.

Can anyone offer any solutions or advice on tumbling amber? I don't want to absolutely wreck the necklace, but individually re-polishing the beads could take a very long time.

OMG, it's too late to not wreck the necklace. You never soak amber in solvents--it breaks down. Also, tumbling will wear it down. That employee owes your customer a new necklace.
