Is there such a thing as a class ring for OCS (either AC or NGB OCS)?

The short answer is sure. You can get a class ring made for anything if you are willing to pay for it.

Realistically though class rings are typically for classes much longer than OCS. Such as high school to a lesser degree and college mainly.

Although I personally wouldn't disparage you for getting an OCS class ring you would probably catch a decent amount of flak from citadel and academy grads as well as other college grads who wear their rings.

As several posters have already said, the OCS tradition is to use class funds to buy class gifts, but each class selects its own. My class chose the fairly ordinary ones (coin and champagne flutes), and we added engraved K-Bars (which are pretty nifty).

I graduated CL 7-67 @ Ft Benning, GA, we were able to order them through the book store.
As CSM Hayden stated, Jostens was the company. I wore it proudly, until it was blown-up in Vietnam.

CPT Thomas R Isaacs, I am pleased to hear OCS Graduates are more durable than Josten's rings.

2LT Chris Loomis, Be a leader, survey your classmates and order rings from 'Jostens' as requested.

Yes you can. You have to call Jostens and tell them you want an OCS Ring and they will create one for you. The only thing you can change is the color stone and Year of graduation. It is very nice.

I think you can get any type of class ring you want. I'm sure there are unlimited options. Ring companies are standing by to take your orders

There is but I am not a fan of them really. Really the only ring knockers out there are the West Pointers.
