We're flying Minneapolis, MN (USA) to Paris in 3 weeks, and we have a 5 hour lay-over in Toronto. We'd love to pick up a little diamond while we're there! (well, not LITTLE...harhar) Is this possible? Do our homework and research ahead of time, and have something lined up for our flight arrival time? I don't really want to meet some guy in a black coat, per say, but we'd love to take advantage of the exchange rate, and up the 4 C's !! Also, can you tell me the price differences between buying a US vs. Canadian diamond, and the "rules" and taxes for doing so. Thanks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You could buy it in Toronto and claim all of it back but it will take upto 8 months to get your money back. See us canadians love to take your money but we hate to give it back. That's because we spend it all on Molson and Labbatt.

Seems like the state tax would be a discount from Canada?! ________________________________ "Insanity: doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results." -Albert Einstein
