How would the demand outstrip supply? Unless you're assuming that magic has just been discovered, that enchanter is making three every single year. And the rings don't wear out. Meanwhile, the enchanters live a very long time. If one pursues that career for a hundred years, that's 300 times as many rings as he needs himself. One out of 300 enchanters working on the item would keep up with population growth even with a lazy 20-year career. In the steady state, there's more rings of Halt Aging that they'll know what to do with. It's only the first few years where the early adopters will be paying a lot.
