I don’t understand the importance of the “peace ring” how come everyone freaks out when he wears that and not any other ring?
it’s widely believed the peace ring was gifted to harry by louis while they were at dinner in 2013. it was first seen on harrys finger when he left a place called rosso for dinner with louis (where the fandom knew they frequented).
besides that it’s important because harry wore it on the middle finger of his right hand, which is considered the “gay ring finger.” at some point he switched it to the left hand, but, he rarely took it off at first except for when he was working, it was clearly very special to him. he had other rings that would come and go but the peace ring was consistent and always in the same spot.
eventually he started wearing other rings for a while, and the peace ring would show up on and off. so now it shows up sometimes and not others, whenever he’s wearing it people tend to celebrate, like still seeing it around after all these years is a good thing and a huge symbol.

Peace and Harry's Peace Ring
One Direction had a tour break starting in Harry's hometown of Manchester on the 20 April 2013. He arrived in LA alone on the 23rd without the ring (left). It was first seen when he left LA on the 28 April 2013 (right). It was only a 9 day break between the UK and Paris, the rest of the band stayed in the UK.
20 April - One Direction perform in Manchester, no ring. This performance is in This is Us (37 minutes in) when they sing Teenage Dirtbag in Manchester 20 April. Taylor in Tampa (Red Tour, I almost do Surprise Song) and starts a 5 day break.
21 April - Harry stayed with his mum who beat him a scrabble, he posted the board to Instagram and saw friends
22 April - When the Holmes Chapel/Bakery scenes are shot for This is Us. (no ring)
23 April - Harry arrives alone in LA without the ring
24 April - Neither Harry or Taylor seen.
25 April - First day Ring is seen. Harry has dinner with Rod Stewart, Rod then plays the Troubadour and Harry stayed at Rod Stewarts house. You can see the ring in photo holding a doggy bag. Taylor in Cleveland (The best day surprise song)
26 April - Harry attends an Instagram party in LA, leaves at 9 and posts photos with Instagram and Facebook execs. Celebs post photos with him, his hand is hidden in photos. It's the anniversary of Facebook's acquisition. Taylor in Indianapolis. (Mine)
27 April - Taylor in Lexington. (Our Song)
28 April - Harry posts photo of sunglasses on beach. Taylor photographed in a gym in Los Angles. Harry leaves LAX wearing the ring and there is an absolutely insane mob because he is there alone with no security.
29 April - Arrives in Paris alone, still wearing ring, described as a riot. The ring is in This is Us in Paris
So we don't know, I actually think he bought the ring himself as a reminder, but it could have been a gift.
Louis stayed in the UK, he rode the Orient Express in London with Eleanor and her mum on 26 April, 3 days before the Paris show. To be clear, Louis, was in the UK and Harry in the US when he got it.
Have Harry or Taylor marked 22 - 24 April
I don't think it is an anniversary, but they have marked it, at first it was Harry, but he stopped when Taylor started dating Calvin and Joe. Taylor stopped and he stopped wearing the ring after she released Peace.
2012 - 23rd Taylor's instagram story about him kissing a girl in NZ and they broke up. Harry then got the Never Gonna Dance Again tattoo (song about regretting infidelity). So in 2013 he got the ring on the anniversary of this - Maybe it represents being faithful, an agreement of some sort or about insane media about them.
2013 - Harry went to LA and started wearing the ring
2014 - Harry's fern Tattoos were first seen (healed) on 26 April covering "might as well..." on his lower hip.
2016 - 23rd Harry tweeted "it's not the Ribbons in your Hair" Cars - Just what I Needed lyrics, about not minding anything because a person is who they needed.
2018 - 23rd Taylor played Angels with Robbie Williams at Wembley.
2019 - 23rd Taylor played Time 100 show w/Style, Delicate & NYD
2020 -23rd Taylor shared a photo of Olivia. Folklore 24 July.
2023 - 23rd Taylor Eras surprise song - Begin Again from Red
Wish You Would and Clean
Taylor wrote Wish you Would while on tour in May 2013 "it's about this guy that drives down the street and passes his ex-girlfriend's house and he thinks she hates him but she doesn't."
On 18 May Taylor posted Roses to IG and with a Gatsby quote that things do not grow.
Clean was written 10 months after Harry started wearing the Peace Ring, on 9 February 2014. "Ten months older, I won't give in / Now that I'm clean, I'm never gonna risk it"
Harry wore the Peace Ring pretty consistently
Harry wore on his left ring or middle finger pretty consistently up to 2020 and played with it when singing romantic songs or in interviews.
Taylor wrote Peace in 2020
It is thought of as a promise ring, to me I think Harry and Taylor agreed to be together in the future, when they were less famous. Taylor foreshadowed Lover in the Red Liner notes and planned the album when she was 30. Closer to the time saying she thought it would one of her last. It wasn't though, and Folklore was largely about her feelings about Harry and included Peace.
Peace is about Taylor's fame making it difficult to love her. It references to Joe Alwyn's brother in the second verse, which Harry doesn't have so it's not thought to be about Harry. However, the first verse with coming of age also doesn't work for Joe who was 25 when they met, but does if you made a promise to an 19 year old 8 years earlier. I think the first verse may explain why Harry stopped wearing the ring a few months after it came out:
"Our coming-of-age has come and gone / Suddenly, this summer, it's clear / I never had the courage of my convictions" [...] "'Cause it lives in me / No, I could never give you peace" [...] All these people think love's for show / But I would die for you in secret / The devil's in the details, but you got a friend in me / Would it be enough if I could never give you peace?"
It was replaced by the Pearl ring in March 2021
Harry started wearing the pearl ring in March 2021, below you can see he has worn them together sometimes. The Peace ring has appeared a few times after the pandemic:
Bowery Ballroom Session for Fine Line February 29 2020 and in the Vogue Cover in December. Last pre-pandemic show at the Bowery, it's on his wedding finger.
He wore it the day before their 20 May anniversary on the Today show appearance on May 19 and Harry's House release.
7, 8, 9, 11, 15, 22, 27, 28, 29, 30, September 2022, LOT shows (MPM press)
2, 3, 6, 8, 9 and 10 October 2022, LOT shows
Last seen Love on Tour wrap up being tipped out of a bag
Harry had worn a ring in the past, on 13 February 2012 Harry wore a ring to dinner with the whole band in Paris. It looks darker than the Peace ring, but can't really be seen. He didn't wear it in interviews the next day or wear rings reliably till 2013.
