    My two bits: lab grown rubies & partridge. Try UV light on stones.

    It looks like it reads "14KI". I'm not sure if the "T" wasnt crossed? It's not an L though, although the period makes it look like it. It's the tiniest stamp I've ever seen on a piece. Even with my strongest microscope I had to take a minute to see it. Maybe I just need a stronger scope.

    Could be lower-quality rubies or even pink sapphires.
