1. A method of making luminescent diamond comprising:
placing a volume of precursor diamond grains and catalyst material in a pressure cell; and
applying an axial pressure and a radial pressure on the volume of precursor diamond grains and catalyst material, wherein the axial pressure is different from the radial pressure, resulting in a differential strain to the volume of precursor diamond grains and catalyst material by subjecting the pressure cell to high-pressure/high-temperature conditions to form one or more luminescent diamond pellets.
