Silver plating over silver inlay material

Are there adhesion or other detrimental issues associated with doing silver plating over silver inlay material? The inlay is fine silver, the base materail is brass and the silver plating is done prior to a gold flash.

Not knowing anything of the use or the process, it is not possible to comment, other than to say that it can be done with the proper steps and chemicals. A silver strike is mandatory and a cyanide strike will have far less plating problems than a non cyanide formulation.
