    You need to think of durability when you decide which material to
    use. Enamels are fused glass and therefore brittle and like glass,
    can be abraded. The two plastic resin materials should be more
    flexible but even less scratch proof. I say this without ever having
    used either. What is the purpose of the rings? Are they to be worn
    every day or or they for special occasion use. This should help you
    determine which system to use.
