A nicely done replacement.

The red stones are either pastes or garnets, if they scratch easily as you have noted, probably pastes, but that depends upon what they were scratched with, I'd get them into good directed light and use a jeweller's loupe on these stones, try to find inclusions in them, if you find inclusions the probability could be that they are garnets.
