Answer 1

A genie and a jinn (also spelled djinn) are the same thing, a spirit that traces back to ancient, pre-Islamic Arabian religions and folklore. Some aspects of these beliefs seeped into Islamic mainstream religion. One example is that certain Muslim communities believe that the Devil was cast out of Heaven and the spiritual beings that went with him were djinni.
The rings are modern day occultist tools. They have no significance in mainstream religion and are popular among people who enjoy things like crystals and ouija boards. calling it a djinn ring is just a way to make it sound more "authentic" than it would by calling it a magic ring.
The actual value would depend on a real life apprasial. The content, gem purity, size and any other factor that any other ring would be measured by would determine the value. Other factors would be if the ring has any significance to collectors of occult items. If your ring is significantly old or unique it may be worth more than other rings of similiar metalurgical value.

Answer 2

The original Genie, or jinn, was of course a being of a different colour. Stemming from the hazy past of ancient Arabian paganism, Muslim tradition enriched the jinn's profile by adding to it features derived from the demons who inhabited Jewish and Christian lore, as well as the more exotic South Asian and African civilizations into which Islam subsequently penetrated.

The Qur'an, Islam's sacred scripture, mentions the jinn on several occasions. Some of the passages will evoke familiar associations for readers versed in talmudic legend.
