Why would my son's newly engaged ex-girlfriend randomly text him a photo of her wearing an engagement ring?

+1.

What motivates your son to show you this nonsense?

It is possible she sent to all her friends just like people post their engagement rings on Facebook. Still classless, but all OP's son had to do was delete her number.

She’s bragging that some other guy “locked her down” and wants your son to feel bad that he “let her get away.” She probably sent the photo to a few exes. At the end of the day, she’s just a very insecure young woman in her 20s.

In five years, she will be embarrassed and mortified by the fact that she sent these texts to ex-boyfriends. Your son probably dodged a bullet.

People post their rings on Facebook? I don't think that's a thing.

It's definitely embarrassing. If he actually cared about her he probably would have reached out in the past two years.

Why does he still have her number active in his phone? Why isn’t she blocked?

+1. Son sounds like a beta loser and mom sounds like an annoying busybody.

Why would he need to block her? He obviously wasn't tempted to call her and probably forgot about it. Blocking is for highly emotional people who need to act out in some way or protect themselves from a harasser.

Then probably a weirdo texting this to a guy who couldn't care less about her would do something like that. It's probably the same people who gush about their partner in crime and soul mate who get divorced a few months later.

Well he and his mom appear to be highly emotional people...

Some if you must not have very good relationships with your adult sons. My son would totally tell me something like this. We have regular conversations and things come up.

In what way? Sounds like they had a laugh about her for being so odd texting him this. The consensus here is that this is sad and desperate.

And you…ran to the Internet?

He confided in his mother about something bizarre. And she posted here, like many women do. You sound like a dumb person.
