The crown is a standard mark, meaning the gold conforms to one of the gold standards. K stands for carat. It is a unit for purity of gold. 22K indicates that the ring is 91.7% gold and 8.3% other metals.

The main parts of a navy anchor are the shank, flukes (also known as arms), crown, stock, and ring. The shank is a long, vertical shaft that connects the crown to the stock. The flukes are the curved arms that dig into the seabed to provide stability. The crown is the top part of the anchor, and the stock is a horizontal bar that helps the anchor lay on the seabed properly. Lastly, the ring is a loop at the top of the shank for attaching the anchor chain.

CR14K likely refers to the metal composition of your ring, indicating that the ring is made of 14 karat gold. The "CR" stands for "Crown Gold," which is a specific type of gold alloy commonly used in jewelry. The "14K" denotes the purity of the gold, with 14 out of 24 parts being gold.
DSC is the stamp of the sponsor, or maker. The crown is the stamp of the assay office that assures the quality of the material.
