The first thing is I’d make the customer aware that the repair will likely cost much more than the bracelet did.
Hollow tubular bracelets are notoriously difficult to repair. If you want to push a crushed bit back from the inside you will need to be able to get a tool, something like a snarling iron, into the tube. However, you might consider pulling it into shape from the outside, the way auto body work is sometimes done.
While there isn’t enough meat to the tube to use a screw-puller, like the body-work fellows do, you might have success with a soldered-on puller.
Solder a wire, or wires, to the outside at the crimp and use those to pull it back into shape. Then clip them off, file, sand, and polish.
Will this work? Dunno. But it’s an idea that comes to mind.
Again, make sure the customer knows it will be a very costly repair.
