　　Government bans U.S. singer Kelly Clarkson from taking ￡150，000 gold ring once owned by Jane Austen out of Britain

　　The singer bought the jewellery at auction last year

　　Culture minister Ed Vaizey has put a temporary export bar on the piece

　　The ring is one of only three surviving pieces of jewellery known to have belonged to the Pride and Prejudice author

　　As a self-proclaimed ‘history nerd’， American popstar Kelly Clarkson was happy to pay more than ￡150，000 for a ring that once belonged to Jane Austen.

　　But the 31-year-old singer has been told she cannot take the item out of Britain and back to her native Texas because it is a ‘national treasure’.

　　Miss Clarkson， the first winner of talent show American Idol， saw off seven bidders in an auction at Sotheby’s last year for the gold and turquoise ring.

　　Still in its original box， it was sold for ￡152，450 despite being expected to fetch only ￡30，000.

　　But when she applied for an export licence， a reviewing committee recommended that the ring should be kept in the UK.

　　Precious： The ring is one of only three surviving pieces of jewellery known to have belonged to Jane Austen

　　Culture Secretary Ed Vaizey has placed a temporary export bar on the item in the hope a UK buyer can be found to purchase it.

　　He said： ‘Jane Austen’s modest lifestyle and her early death mean that objects associated with her of any kind are extremely rare， so I hope this simple but elegant ring can be saved for the nation.’

　　If no British bidder comes forward the Government will not be able to ruse an export licence.

　　But Miss Clarkson has indicated she will be willing to sell the piece of jewellery if an offer matching hers is made.

　　The export licensing decision will be derred until September 30 and can be delayed until December 30 if proof emerges of a ‘serious’ UK buyer.

　　Miss Clarkson encountered a similar problem when she bought a first edition of Jane Austen’s novel Persuasion， saying last year： ‘We put in an export request but I can’t take it out of the UK as they’ve named it a national treasure.’

　　After the author’s death in 1817， aged 41， the ring was given to her older sister Cassandra and kept in the family until it was sold at the auction in London last July.
