Kevin,

    I think the tool you are looking for is a tube mill, it is like a
    rolling  mill but with three rollers instead of two. The set up is
    two rollers at the  bottom and one at the top. As you are only
    shaping the bangles you will not need too much pressure so you can
    protect the engraving with smooth adhesive tape while shaping. If
    you are shaping high relief surface sheet you could have  wooden
    rollers instead of the steel ones. 

I hope this helps.
