The Moon Rings are mermaid tail-shaped rings with a blue moonstone embedded in the middle. It is a powerful object and can be used for perform powerful and complex magic.
History
The Moon Rings store moonlight and only works in a place that can receive full moonlight, such Lyla used it to open the Trident Cave, but it did not work inside. When a mermaid graduates Mermaid School, she is given a Moon Ring and is initiated in their respective pod. If a mermaid loses her Moon Ring, it will be near impossible to receive a new one unless they can prove to their respective Mermaid Council their worth. In Moon Ring 2 it is shown that the rings' stones react to mermaid magic. Twice, the mermaid trio's use of magic in close proximity to the ring caused its stone to glow and release a beam which stunned Rita. However, the properties of a moon stone can be altered, like the trident's which was altered to absorb a mermaid's energy rather than react to it.
It was Aquata's Moon Ring that allowed Nixie, Sirena, and Lyla to get legs. Rita later teaches the girls to use the Moon Ring's power when she agrees to help them.
It is implied that the Moon Rings need to be placed in shells to function. Improper use of powers or less powers than required is also implied to cause problems, as seen when Lyla and Sirena attempted to stop a rainstorm using the Moon Ring without Nixie, causing snowfall indoors. The rings' source of power is placed within the moonstones. Moon Rings also depletes over time, and to load them, they have to be exposed to the light of the Full Moon, or another object that stores full moonlight, such as the Trident.
Moon Rings are a mermaid's powers, but magnified a thousand times. Moon Rings are dangerous and if a mermaid doesn't know what they're doing or if a land person goes outside during a Full Moon, it can be harmful to themselves or others. To use a Moon Ring, a mermaid has to focus on their intent. A mermaid has to also focus their energy on the Moon Ring and meld their thoughts with it. A mermaid has to also be positive and unleash positive energy when using a Moon Ring. A mermaid has to also focus their mind on what they want the Moon Ring to do.

Powers
- Legs Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to grow legs, but that spell is only possible on a Full Moon. As the Moon Rings store moonlight, it is possible to a mermaid to perform this spell without it. It's not known if this spell is reversible, but most likely is.
- Rain Stopping Spell - Mermaids can cast a spell to hold back the rain.
- Snowing Spell - Mermaids can cast a spell to make it start snowing.
- Hydro-Thermokinesis - Mermaids can cast a spell to melt ice and snow.
- Opening the Trident Cave and the Merman Chamber - Moon Rings have the ability to open the land entrance to the Trident Cave and Merman Chamber on Mako Island.
- Coma Spell - They also seem to have the ability to put people into a type of coma as seen in "Moon Ring 2" when the girls were trying to get the moon ring from Zac, they accidentally used their powers on the moon ring and the blast hit Rita, knocking her unconscious.
- Chlorokinesis Spell (Plant Manipulation) - Mermaids can cast a spell to grow/manipulate plants as Rita made the seaweed grow and this could be used to provide camouflage, and the same thing could also be used on a kelp forest as stated by Rita.
- Healing Spell - They have the power to heal as shown when the girls (Sirena & Nixie) and Rita were able to heal Lyla after being zapped by the Trident.
- Force Field Spell- It could be used to provide a magic shield/force field, like in "Decision Time", the girls used their Moon Rings at the same time to prevent Cam from being turned into a merman and taking over Mako.
- Enlargement Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to enlarge an object like when Mimmi used the Moon Ring to make the crayfish bigger.
- Shrinking Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to shrink objects. Mimmi shrunk the crayfish after making it too big and Evie accidentally shrunk herself when trying to remove the ring from her finger. Mimmi cast a Northern Shrinking Spell on a Chinese Puzzle Box to trap the Water Dragon.
- Duplication Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to duplicate matter in number. Mimmi and Ondina performed the spell successfully.
- Sleep Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to make someone fall asleep. Ondina performed the spell on David after he was enchanted by Sirena's song.
- Containment Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to contain things. Weilan has a puzzle box in her apartment to contain dangerous spells and broken enchantments. Mimmi used it on a puzzle box along with a shrinking and adapting spell.
- Trapping Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to trap a creature. Mimmi stated that Northern mermaids trap sharks in ice prisons.
- Adapting Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell of adaptation. Mimmi performed the spell along with a shrinking spell and containment spell on a Chinese puzzle box.
- Incineration Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to incinerate objects. Mimmi and Ondina performed the spell successfully to destroy a Chinese Puzzle Box enchanted with shrinking and adapting spells.
- Object Manipulation Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to manipulate objects. Ondina performed this spell to demonstrate the Moon Ring's power to Evie, who then enchanted a mop to clean the floor. When the mop got stuck in the bucket, she boosted it with extra power, making it spin out of control. A mermaid can use this spell to shape objects into something else. Eastern mermaids shape clumps of seaweed into land people and make them dance on top of the water.
- Cryokinesis - Mermaids can perform a spell to freeze objects. Mimmi performed the spell to freeze the mop. Ondina and Mimmi also freezed water into shapes of giant sea creatures, put them in front of fishermen and shattered them when they first got their Moon Rings.
- Levitation Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to make objects float in midair. Ondina demonstrated it to Evie, who then did the same thing, but found herself unable to undo it.
- Remote Spell - Mermaids can cast a spell to cast a spell on someone or something from a distance. Mimmi and Ondina attempted to cast a Remote Spell on the Fifty Moons Potion to try to get Evie's tail back, but it backfired.
- Accelerated Growth Spell - Mermaids can perform a spell to accelerate the growth of something.
- Hydrokinesis - Mermaids can perform a spell to control and manipulate water.
- Storm Spell - Mermaids can cast a spell to summon a powerful and strong storm full of thunder and lightning.

- The Trident and the Moon Ring shares the same stone, but the only one in the Trident is much bigger, thus the power of the Trident is more powerful than the Moon Ring.

- It is unknown what happens if a land person wears the ring on a Full Moon, but it would be dangerous, as stated byLyla, Nixie and Sirena.
- While very similar in look and function, the Moon Ring stone is different than the Crystal Necklaces stone.
- It is possible that the magnetic rocks from the moon pool might be the metal used to create the metal bands of the Moon Rings.
