I feel like this is his way of still being connected to me, but I know if we have that connection he's still hoping that we'll get back together. What do I say when I return the ring to him, to make it perfectly clear to him that there is no future for us? How can I say it without seeming rude?

He may not have wanted it back because he didn't know what to do with it. Keeping it reminds him of the relationship. Giving it to another girl? Ick.
When you give it back, suggest he give it to his mother/sister. Tell him you don't plan to wear it again, ever, and since it's such a nice/pretty (whatever) ring you think someone should wear it. But that person won't ever be you.
