Is there a way to make an item that has extra armor or armor toughness?

I wanted to make a pair of Elytra wings that you could get on my private server after going to a specific point that unlike all other elytra would actually give you armor points(which show up above your hearts) just like any armor piece. I have seen this done with other armor just not the commands themselves used to make these items. I also HAD done some research to ensure that there was a way to do it before I came here and I couldn't find one.

Try using attribute modifiers, they can be used to modify anything from health to attack speed to hunger to armor value. The command your looking for is like this:

/give @p elytra 1 0 {AttributeModifiers:[{AttributeName:"generic.armor",Name:"Test",Amount:6,Operation:0,UUIDLeast:1l,UUIDMost:1l,Slot:"chest"}]} 

Where it says Amount:6 that is how many half armor points it is so eight is the equivalent of a diamond chestplate.
