That is just some very beautiful work, as always!
Did you have any issues with distortion of the engraving on the interior when you formed the bracelet? That's assuming that it was engraved flat first.

i draw on the piece as i am cutting.....kind of like shooting pool. you have to think a couple moves ahead of yourself.
i still sketch on paper, just not as much as i should. i am sure if i did my engraving might look a bit nicer.
i do use sams transfer wax to sketch the design on the piece......sure makes it easy to work out a quick idea.
as others have said... "wow"... your work is amazing.
hopefully taking my first steps into engraving here in a couple of weeks, so it's great seeing such beautiful work to inspire my enthusiasm.
