If it simply is not possible to meet the demand (for Halt Aging or any other high end item) it's probably because this world is limited in magic rather than just highly variant.

There are many durable items in the real world that are not produced in quantities sufficient to fully satisfy demand. Not every mage will have the skills, and time, and inclination to create Halt Aging rings on a large scale. Most healers will choose to put their time into creating and using tools for healing, treating actual injuries and illnesses. Other mages will have no interest in healing magic; they're simply not interested in pursuing that field.
