Diamond Cutters International has presented four possible designs for the Astros' World Series ring.

HOUSTON, Texas (KTRK) -- The Houston Astros' 2017 World Series rings could be the most valuable championship rings in Major League Baseball history if one local jeweler has anything to say about it.

Houston-based Diamond Cutters International has released four mockups of potential World Series rings that it will submit as part of its bid to design this year's rings:

The Astros’ baseball cap has a blue background, an orange star and a popping H. Cuellar would take an 8-karat cabochon sapphire and use a laser to cut a grid into that sapphire.none

Cuellar said he was inspired by where the team actually won the championship – the baseball diamond. All four bases are made from actual diamonds.none

This is similar to option one but the sapphire has been replaced by a tight-knit pave diamond background.none

The most expensive of the four, the bases would be small sapphires and the background would be a tight-knit pave diamond setting.none

The various designs feature the team's logo and a baseball diamond and are ornamented with sapphires and diamonds.

DCI also designed the 1999 World Series rings for the Yankees, which are currently ranked as being the most valuable in history.

"We want to make sure this title goes to our Astros rings this year, knowing that these rings could surpass six figures per ring. The first million is on us!" DCI vice president Dee Doan said.
