She should give the ring back. It’s a conditional gift, and her right to keep it is conditioned on going through with the marriage. Heck, no self-respecting lawyer would propose to a woman on Christmas or her birthday lest it be deemed to not be a conditional gift. (just joshing!) Putting legalities aside, returning the ring is simply the right thing to do in this circumstance.
