Patterned diamond and method of making same

A method of making a diamond, the method comprising:

• providing a first portion of one of:
• a single crystal diamond and a polycrystal diamond;
• introducing a metallic pattern to at least one surface of the first portion of one of:
• the single crystal and the polycrystal diamond;
• and
• growing, using one of:
• a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process and a high temperature high pressure (HTHP) process, a second portion of one of:
• the single crystal diamond and the polycrystal diamond on the first portion, such that one of:
• the single crystal diamond and the polycrystal diamond at least partially encapsulates the metallic pattern,
• wherein introducing the metallic pattern comprises depositing one or more layers of melted metal on a surface of the first portion.
