Building off jberger's comment a configuration that should work would be:

server {
    listen *:80;
    server_name example.com;
}

server {
    listen              *:443 ssl;
    server_name         example.com;
    ssl_certificate     /etc/ssl/certs/example.com.cert;
    ssl_certificate_key /etc/ssl/private/example.com.key;
    return 301 http://$server_name$request_uri;
}
