If he is dead ... sounds like your screwed.... Maybe an earlier save if it is there will be the only thing you can do.... either that or start a new character...
I dunno, but without the quest to plant the ring, you won't be able to do thieves guild.
This is all assuming you are on a console.
If you are on PC, than I am sure there are commands you can use, but I am unable to tell ya those as I play on PS3.
Good Luck, maybe someone else can give you better info.
EDIT!!!! I was doing some research and it says you can just drop the ring and tell Brynjolf you lost it.... Brynjolf won't be happy but you can still do the theives guild.... Try it!!!! Let me know!!

It does work and I don't think it changes anything in the Thieves Guild questline but you still have to be careful because there are lots of important people that the thieves guild need alive like...

Does that mean you can avoid putting Brand-Shei in jail? Because if it's never planted on him, he won't be arrested, right? I'll test it on my next character. I'll grab it, and drop it at the entrance to The Ratway and see if I can tell Brynjolf I lost it.
Theres a section on the quests wiki page about it here.
