Why do men show a ring when proposing?

Watch how olympian Matt Grevers proposed to U.S. National Team swimmer Annie Chandler in this video I have seen just now.
 
It made me think.
 
I understand why men kneel when proposing. What I don't understand is why we have to show them a ring. Is it a bribe? Like an incentive to accept the proposal? I refuse to believe this even if it makes sense. Can anyone offer another explanation? =D
 
Note: I did show F a ring when I proposed but I didn't kneel. She pleaded me not to kneel. I proposed in Changi Airport and she didn't want to make a scene. =D
