They'd be cufflinks. My book says that PARISINA is the mark used by Marcel Boucher on his Mexican made items. He studied as an apprentice with Cartier. He also designed jewelry for Mazer Brothers in NYC before establishing the Marcel Boucher and Cie Company in NY in 1957. Your cufflinks have a very Modernist look to them. They probably date to the early 1940's during WW2, since that is when he was in Mexico. They are collectible.

Thank you for the informative response. I knew the pieces had age, history and a certain desirability. Cufflinks. Thanks. I kinda thought so...
