Are you absolutely sure that this is a natural ruby and not lab made? If I recall correctly, the largest gem-quality ruby is 55 carats, and sold for about 34 million US dollars. I would get this checked by a gemologist or jeweler, it is very likely to be lab-made in my opinion.
 
As I can see from the picture, it is natural. However, if it is glass-filled, it would be worthless. The best way is to take it to a jeweler.

Not lab made, quite old

Not glass filled, bubbles would be more than evident under microscope, possibly flux healed.
This is a 40ct+ myanmar heat only pink sapphire another particularly large stone of mine, I have no idea of the value either.
I'll take the ruby for certification soon but still won't give me any idea of value unfortunately, even if it is H(a) or H(c)
 
It's a pretty color! Not gem quality and, at the other end of the spectrum, not really a star, either? I'm guessing translucent to opaque. Would not surprise me if it were genuine and even untreated.

Even genuine and untreated, I have no clue as to value; I have not shopped material like this. Best bet is eBay comparables, imo. Note that you will likely find a "barbell" distribution with plenty of lower-priced items and a few wacky exclamation-point-filled listings ("AAAA++++!!!!") for (say) exactly $1 million.

In the case of each of your gems, the seller (?) did not invest much in the mounting which is often, but not universally, consistent with a low imputed value to the gem.

It's often the way here in Indonesia that the ring isn't so much important and are almost all silver regardless of the stone
 
They're both off for certification. So we will see soon and I will share the results bad or not.
 
Wow! For some reason I didn’t register the second set of photos as being the same ring. I wish you luck with your certification!
