See, I'm not sure if I agree that you shouldn't give the ring back. Sure, you shared many great times and it sounds like he might still be hurt by the lose of your relationship - but I have my mom's class ring, and someday this guy might have a daughter that he might want to give it to. Your children won't care about his class ring - they probably won't ever know him. And if you keep thinking about wanting to give it back to him, you already have your mind made up. You just have to act on it.
I don't think sending it is a bad idea. But I think that a little note would be nice...perhaps a little, "thought you'd like to keep this for that new someone special in your life." Not to mention that class rings cost money, and perhaps he spent money on his. It was special to him, and that's why he gave it to you. But you obviously need to move on, and this is your way of doing it. It's not an action meant to hurt him - plus, it might remind him of the good old days and bring a smile to his fact. HIS daughter should have it in her jewlery box.
