I looked into this last spring. The taxes and duties are enormous. PST & GST in Ontario add 15% to the cost. There is an additional automatic 15% duty on the purchase simply because it''s a diamond. There may be additional duty imposed if the diamond you purchase is 0.5 ct in size or more. If you have it set, there are further duties as well. At least that''s what I gleaned from the Canada Customs and Revenue Agency website at the time. Are you located in the Toronto area by any chance?

Many Canadians make a trip to a FedEx office that offers hold for pickup just over the US border. There is no sales tax for interstate shipments in the USA, so the price you see will be the price you pay. It''s up to you if you want to declare the item when you go back across the border.
