About a jeweler's hallmark

I have a ring, a diamond (roughly 1 carat) engagement ring that
bears the following inscription in the band on the inside: 14KT
HGE LIND, and there is a symbol between the HGE and the LIND
which resembles an eye with a capital “V” through the middle of
it. I have found that the HGE means heavy gold electroplate, and
therefore understand that, while its quite lustrous and greatly
resembles a flawless diamond even under 28X microscope, it is
likely not genuine. I was wondering if anyone had any idea what
type of stone it would be, what the LIND means, and any other
Thank you in advance for your help.

Bridgeitte: Believe your hallmarked ring is heave gold
electroplate from the Lindenwold Jewelers and is probably a cz or
yag. Bob

If it looks flawless under a microscope, and it's set in 
a plated ring, it is most likely cubic zirconia.

I have no problem with calling it a CZ. I see alot of this kind
of stuff coming through my store. I test it with a dia. tester
and tell the customer the truth about what they have. Nobody I
know would put a 1 ct. dia. in a plated ring. Fred
