When someone asked about a ring on your finger, you wanted to explain that your ex-boyfriend gave it to you. In that case, you can try one of the above-suggested example sentences which may be appropriate for any given situation. There are always a variety of ways to respond to someone or make a comment - depending on the context and other factors such as nationality, appropriacy and body language
Most people tend to shorten ex-boyfriend and ex-girlfriend to simply ex. All three response can be used to explain who gave you the ring, although I think a follow up question many may be curious about and ask it why you kept the ring. Perhaps an explanation of why the ring is still important you might better explain why you still keep it.
Giving' can be general or has a gift or present. By mentioned 'Boyfriend, girlfriend, ex boyfriend or ex girlfriend' while using the adjective 'giving, you are general implying that they gave you a present.
'Gift' is another word for present, something given to someone out of the kindness of your heart. So we have three useful sentences when someone asks what the ring is and where it came from.
'This was a gift for my ex boyfriend'
'My ex gave it to me'
'My ex gave me this'
Giving' は単に「与える」という意味でも「プレゼントを贈る」という意味でも使われます。
'Boyfriend' 'Girlfriend' 'Ex boyfriend' または 'Ex girlfriend' とともに 'Giving' を使うと、「プレゼントをもらった」というニュアンスになります。
'Gift' は 'Present'（プレゼント）の別の言い方です。
というわけで、指輪をどうしたのかと聞かれたときに使える文が三つできました。

'My ex gave it to me'
'My ex gave me this'
（これは元カレがくれました）
