this is fairly trivial to do with one element instead. look into the box-shadow property

Why do you want to "bend" an element? I would do this with a radial gradent on the background. But there are several other possibilities.

This is my solution: 
<div class="container">
  <div class="outer ring">
    <div class="middle ring">
      <div class="inner ring"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
<style>
  :root{    
    --border-thickness: 20px;
    --container-width: 400px;
  }
  body{
    margin: 0;
  }
  .container {    
    width: var(--container-width);
    height: 300px;
    background: #6592CF;
    position: relative;
  }
  .ring{
    border-radius: 50%;
    border: var(--border-thickness) solid #060F55;
  }
  .outer{
    position: absolute;
    --size: calc(var(--container-width) - 2 * (var(--border-thickness)));
    width: var(--size);
    height: var(--size);    
    top: 100px;    
  }
  .middle{
    position: absolute;
    --size: calc(var(--container-width) - 6 * (var(--border-thickness)));
    width: var(--size);
    height: var(--size);    
    top: var(--border-thickness); 
    left: var(--border-thickness);
  }
  .inner{
    position: absolute;
    --size: calc(var(--container-width) - 10 * (var(--border-thickness)));
    width: var(--size);
    height: var(--size);    
    top: var(--border-thickness); 
    left: var(--border-thickness);
  }
</style>
<div class="container">
  <div class="outer ring">
    <div class="middle ring">
      <div class="inner ring"></div>
    </div>
  </div>
</div>
<style>
  :root{    
    --border-thickness: 20px;
    --container-width: 400px;
  }
  body{
    margin: 0;
  }
  .container {    
    width: var(--container-width);
    height: 300px;
    background: #6592CF;
    position: relative;
  }
  .ring{
    border-radius: 50%;
    border: var(--border-thickness) solid #060F55;
  }
  .outer{
    position: absolute;
    --size: calc(var(--container-width) - 2 * (var(--border-thickness)));
    width: var(--size);
    height: var(--size);    
    top: 100px;    
  }
  .middle{
    position: absolute;
    --size: calc(var(--container-width) - 6 * (var(--border-thickness)));
    width: var(--size);
    height: var(--size);    
    top: var(--border-thickness); 
    left: var(--border-thickness);
  }
  .inner{
    position: absolute;

could also go with a single element including a border-style: double; for 2 of the rings and then an outline with an outline-offset for the third maybe?

I think this would also work: 
background: rgb(85,148,203);
background: radial-gradient(circle at bottom, rgba(85,148,203,1) 0%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 12%, rgba(0,18,82,1) 12%, rgba(0,16,75,1) 15%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 15%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 21%, rgba(0,16,75,1) 21%, rgba(0,16,75,1) 24%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 24%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 30%, rgba(0,16,75,1) 30%, rgba(0,16,75,1) 33%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 33%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 100%);
background: rgb(85,148,203);
background: radial-gradient(circle at bottom, rgba(85,148,203,1) 0%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 12%, rgba(0,18,82,1) 12%, rgba(0,16,75,1) 15%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 15%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 21%, rgba(0,16,75,1) 21%, rgba(0,16,75,1) 24%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 24%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 30%, rgba(0,16,75,1) 30%, rgba(0,16,75,1) 33%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 33%, rgba(85,148,203,1) 100%);
I didn't play around with the ring spacing. But some some adjustments to the percentage will get the exact rings.
